نگاهم کن

نگاهم کن، نگاهم کن، که محتاج نگاهم من

اگر عاشق شدن جرم است

گناه من اگر عشق است

نگاهم کن، سر تا پا گناهم من

نگاهم کن چو اول بار

چو هنگامی که چشمانت به چشمانم

و لبهایت به لبهایم

و من در خلسۀ رویای عشقی جاودان بودم

* * * *

یادت هست آن روزی که رقصیدم

و با هر زخمۀ آن ساز با صد عشوه پیچیدم

که تا زیبایی من را تو بستایی

و من در گوشۀ قلب تو بنشینم

یادت هست همچون کودکی خندیدم و گفتم

نگاهم کن، نگاهم کن، نگاهم کن که می رقصم، نگاهم کن که می پیچم

* * * *

مرا بنگر

میان ازدحام مردم و قانون

میان گریۀ شاکی

و حرف و طعنۀ قاضی

میان لعن بدگویان

نگاه تلخ مغمومان

و انبوه پر از جوش خبر جویان

نبیند چشم من جز تو کسی را یا که چیزی را

نه حتی خویشتن را من

که تا شاید نگاهت مهربان گردد

نوازد این تن تب دار پر تشویش

که من بس خسته از زنجیر و دالانم

هنوز عشق است در رگهای من جاری

هنوز امید جلوه در نگاه توست

* * * *

سحر می آید و نام مرا دژخیم می خواند

دوباره لحظۀ دیدار می آید

تو را از دور می بینم

دوباره منتظر چون اولین دیدار

طنا ب دار دارد در نسیم صبح می رقصد

دوباره موقع رقص است باز انگار

و می خواهم که من را باز بستایی

نگه کن رقص آخر را

ببین پرواز عاشق را

برای توست این پیچ و خم اندام

نگاهم کن که می رقصم

نگاهم کن که می پیچم

Divaneh jan, yes.This is probably why it is not featured

by Anahid Hojjati on

Divaneh jan, you are correct. I saw your comment about changing the dance to twist and that is probably why the translation is not featured any more. However, Jahanshah can feature it again. I think since IC has some readers who don't read Farsi, it is important that they get message of your poem by reading MPD's translation.

Dear Anahid

by divaneh on

MPD edited the last phrase after my suggestion and I think that was why it lost its position in the featured blogs. I was also surprised that it didn't get re-featured again.


Anahid Hojjati

JJ, what happened to MPD's translation? Please feature again.

by Anahid Hojjati on

Dear Jahanshah, can you feature English translation of this poem again?

Agreed about the confession......

by Souri on

As I've alrady said, a simple confession has no legal value. The witches of Salem had been forced to say yes, we are witches.

But giving the details of the scene is something else.

And the fact that she always said that she has more things to reveal but each time she has changed her version, instead of giving more details or new evidances to prove her innocense.

The thing is she was trying to fool the justice (and by fooling I don't mean she was the killer) but she wanted to gain more time and finally get away because of the lack of evidances. That's why she was acting that way at the last trial, because she was sure that if she denies  until the end, they can't kill her. This is also why she got surpirsed when she learnt the verdict, because she couldn't belive that finally they will execute her. I still don't know what went wrong with this girl?

I belive she got too much credit inside of the prison and this might have given her a feeling of assurance and notoriaty or.......she has been promised by someone that in any case she will be released.

This was her own will to accelerate the process, she had written a letter to the judge to accelerate things and give the final verdict. I can't belive she was innocent but I can't imagine to what point she was implicated, only I regret truly what happened to her.


divaneh

Dear Souri

by divaneh on

I read both articles and didn't see much new material. I already said that she was prosecuted by the media and these are good examples. The whole case is based on the confession and I have already discussed the credit of confessions. As I said elsewhere and brought examples, during the witch-hunt women confessed to being witches and were executed for it. There is very little value in confessions. I am sure each of us will have his/her own judgement about this case until some more facts are in the public domain.

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words

by Faramarz on

Divaneh Jaan, when I came across this picture a few days ago I completely froze! There was so much in her face expressions and in her life journey that I didn’t know what to say. But, you have so brilliantly articulated the essence of this tragedy. Thank you.


Souri

Just for you to read

by Souri on

Of course we can't trust this one either, but it gives us how they describe her as the murderer.

دست مریزاد !

دیوانه جان این مدت به کجا میخرامیدی که چنین دلسوختگی عشق از واژگان شعرت میچکد؟ چه به روزت آمد؟
بیم آن داشتم که این دیوانگیت زمانی‌ کار دستت بدهد  ولی‌ شادانم که بازگشتی و چه شاعرانه بازگشتی.
شهلا و لاله پژمرده و آن نره خر به کنار چه روان جان کلام سرودی و چه خوش گفتی‌، دست مریزاد!.
ولی‌ زینهار از شراب قرمز عزیز که فرمان ناصری دارد و تیغ به دست، هول بیمناکی میرود. پاینده باشی‌

Divaneh aziz

by Souri on

Loool, it sounds strange to say divaneh aziz. Sure you seem to love all kind of divanegi as you understand the poor Shahla....(and that was a joke.)

Have you read that article in Persian posted by Faramarz? It reveal more details. A friend of Nasser who shared the room with him in Germany during the match, confessed that Shahla had called Nasser the same night, to tell him that his wife was killed. This was the night of the murder, means the police had discovered it the next day.

It means that Shahla (for any reason) was aware of  the murder  before that anybody else learns the news. Even Nasser, had known the news, before they officially tell him.

Lots of mysteries are here, because we just read some isolated parts of the news, while people in Iran are aware of more details becasue they are familiar with the event, since 9 years ago.

But I do recommend you read that page I'm talking about:

//www.footballmedia.net/articles.asp?id=4955

All in all, I belive she was aware of the plan (before or after it happened) and/but even if she was implicated, she did not act alone.

The stupid Mohammd-Khani had given her the key of the house, while he knew that she sometimes go to the house to check him and his wife. I'm just puzzled!

Dear Friends

Thanks for reading and for your generous comments.

Dear Souri and Samsam

by divaneh on

That was an interesting and very relevant debate. I missed it but would just add a couple of comments here.

This poem is not about Iranian women, it's about one woman only and that is Shahla Jahed. I have not intended to give a generalised view about women or Iran. This case has its own merits and as you have already explained could have happened anywhere in the world. The case of a crazy woman who sacrifice herself for her love. I think only a crazy person can love like that and other examples such as Majnoon or Farhad all point to some level of madness in the person.

To those people who are convinced of her crime, I would say ask yourself what has led you to that belief. The confession that she gave after a year of pestering by investigators? After the illegal meeting that was arranged with Naser and someone else? There are loopy people in this world who confess to anything. Could it not be a little more complicated?

We know that they found semen on the victim and at the time Naser was in Germany. Could it not be that the victim had an affair with someone who may have been the killer? Could it not be that a Mafia gang or someone with power wanted something from Naser and had to give him a lesson?

I just hope that one day the truth comes out and there will be a proper closure for this case.

Powerful Imagery

by Flying Solo on

Divaneh,

This is an incredible piece.  Such powerful imagery. 

Love - to that level - to pay with one's own life! Incredible. Sadly such sentiments are rarely two-sided.


Souri

Zere ziadi was mine, Samsam jon :)

by Souri on

I'd started first. And I apologize to Divaneh for that.

I totally agree with what you said here:

"i consider it to be just another routin byproduct of omaru culture and not the cause"

Exact!

How true in fact!


SamSamIIII

by SamSamIIII on

""please write it in a blog and I'll come to discuss it there with you....""

hiiih, sorry dear my blog writing days are passed me..I dont write blogs no more & shall keep it that way. As for hating IRI,,you may be surprised to know that i dont hate it neither since i consider it to be just another routin byproduct of omaru culture and not the cause . so i treat it as i treat other byproducts such as Farsi or etc as one collective case .. ... Cheers Madam!!!

Cheers madam!!!

Sorry divaneh jaan for zereh ziadii man:)

Dear Divaneh your way of expression are priceless.

let's hope there will not be another like that teragedy in our motherland.

from here in the west and our taughts in the east sometimes our true intentions gets' lost in translation like the some of our friends here.

Souri

Ooooops What a big mistake I did!

by Souri on

Samsam jon, I'm very very sorry,  I did a mistke again!

I wanted to to say "Let hate IRI" but not IRAN for sure. You are a true nationalist and despite all our differences of views, I respect your sincere love for Iran. I'll never forgive myself for not being careful. Nowadays I do lots of typo mistakes! What happens to me?

Again please accept my apologies for that non-sense which had slipped in my text.

Thanks for the explanation of your views.

I'm not sure if we have became too "Tolerant" Samsam jon. The guilt of accepting Islam and Arab culture is still on the shoulder of our ancestors. Would they not accepted that, maybe we didn't have to put up with the atrocities afterward. So, I'd say "Tolerance " could come as a remedy for a case that has been forced on us by our ancestors.

And you asked "

"Yes but then, nobody writes poetry,articles romanticizing em in America, do they?"

I'd say yes, sometimes. Especially they make TV movies, to justify their actions. But this is not the point of our debated anymore.

I hope Divaneh isn't at mad us, for having messed up with his beautiful poem blog. If you like to pursue this debate, please write it  in a blog and I'll come to discuss it there with you.

 You didn,t get the jist of my comment yet I,ll elaboarte;

"How many stories you have heard in US (only but it is exetned to all over the world) that a woman  killed her rival?"

Yes but then, nobody writes poetry,articles romanticizing em in America, do they?. all i,m saying is to stop propogating an image of iranian woman as that of a senseless romantic serf & 2nd class specie. it wont help the self image of a 12 yr old growing up taking notes of this iconery

"You see everything from your eye glass of "let hate Iran" but here it does not apply."

Wow, thats a strong charge :). I dont hate "Iran" but the ommatie tail that follows it. Now ask yourself what has all the thousand yr old stateless mumbo jumbos of Hafiz & Saadi & Omaru status quo culture has accomplished for us , che gerehi az badbakhti maa baaz kardeh, has it made us more ethical? made us more democrats? less passive? less ignorant? more enlightened?...the only thing it has accomplished is to make us more "Tolerant" to accept tyrrany as ghazaa ghadar..

anyhooo, begzarim

Cheers!!!

No no no

by Souri on

Samsam jon.

You see everything from your eye glass of "let hate Iran" but here it does not apply.

How many stories you have heard in US (only but it is exetned to all over the world) that a woman  killed her rival? A woman killed even her own children for the love of her boyfriend? A woman accepted to bomb a place to do a bank robbery or killing innocent people, just for the sake of her love for the guy who asked her to do that?

Altough I agree with you on the matter of  women situation in today's Iran, but in this particular tragedy I don't agree with you.

Yes, we have a culture of "love and devotion" but also, Samsam jon, there were some men in Iran, who have killed for love, in the recent history .

So the main problem and the main reason of this, is not the culture, in my opinion.


SamSamIIII

Dear Divaneh, Mehrban, Anahid, this is where u r wrong

by SamSamIIII on

 

1st off did not realize this was Divaneh's own poetry..wow..beautiful..powerfull imagery of words. As for my take on the issue; here it is;

1- God bless her soul.

2-Wether she commited murder on her own or was an accomplice we must realize that the victim was a "woman" herself belonging to the already oppressed, enslaved gender in ommatestan. Aiding & abating the tormentor(the man ) to victimize an already tortured marginalized gender(the woman) at best is not love but selfish lust .

2-Objectification, stereotyping, beautifying & typecasting women's role as that of a gullible all loving fool no matter what to the end and justifying it under " love" is a disservice to ommah subjugated aspirations of independent Iranian female. Propogating Women's role as that of a helpless mindless needy & romantic 2nd class specie under exoneration & justification of unconditional "Love" is what dogs of status quo want.

unfortunately our suffie goofy romantic oldism and its saaghis & female gishaa's personifications  does great harm to womens image as equal comscious partners in life & in romance.

Instead I read this in that picture;, You sob, if i could do it again it would be you the kniving moozi bacteria and not that poor woman.

Cheers!!!

Souri

Anahid, yes and no

by Souri on

The more I read about the matter, the more I tend to beleive that  in fact he was not implicated in the murder.

Yes, he is the number one guilty.

Because he had an affair while he was married to another woman. (and the rumor says that was not even a temporary marriage, she was just her mistress. The rumor says that, after she has been jailed, he went to see her at the prison with someone else (probably a religious) to make her his legal temporary woman (sigheh) for  being legal.

Because he fooled two devoted women who loved him really.

Because he had given  the key of his house, where his own wife and children were living, to his jealous mistress! One never understood why on the earth, he did this?

Because he put his own interest before the one of his children both at the time of having affair and especially after the murder of his wife. He always brought his child to the court and let him know every detail about his father's love affair & drug addiction, and his mother's murder, and the moment of the execution!

Because he didn't forgive Shahla before the court and have signed the Ghesaas, just to keep the face and save his reputation.

Yes, Shahla is the victim, but I can't say she is the victim of injustice! Iran or anywhere else, this would be the verdict for her.
Shahla's defense was completely jeopardize by her contradictory stories! She never explained (or at least we haven't heard) what has happened really to her. She only talked about her love for the man!

Was she responsible for what happened to her :Yes, of course!

Because she had an affair with a married man.

Because she was also involved in the affair of drug and she had became the drug provider for her lover (some say she was a dealer)

Because she(for any reason) did not say the truth, nothing but the truth and the whole truth.

I still believe that she was the only person who could prevent this horrible tragedy to happen. She could and should have said everything she knew about the murder, but she didn't.

May God bless  both women souls

May God never forgive that monster: Nasser Mohammad-Khani 


Anahid Hojjati

Dear divaneh, thanks for your comment

by Anahid Hojjati on

Divaneh jan, not only you wrote the poem but in some of your comments, you have explained how you believe there was a miscarriage of jutice. So many of us, myself included, are quick to think that there are more worthy causes.  However, Shahla's case is important. If she really did not kill the victim, then it is important that issue be discussed, otherwise the "avaagheb" will be tragic.  The message that this case would send to men in Iran is horrific. Have a girlfiend (while you are married), if it really becomes problematic, kill your wife, blame it on the other woman and get away with it and move on to third woman. That is why it is significant that this case stays in public opinion, thanks for helping to do this.

An Ode To A Love Gone Awry!

by G. Rahmanian on

A powerful eulogy to a tragic love. A fitting tribute to a more tragic death. Alas, there were no chorines to sing your choric song to Shahla. She would have loved it!


divaneh

Thanks friends

by divaneh on

Thanks for all your kind words. I am glad you liked the poem.

Red Wine aziz,

I differ with you with regards to the capital punishment but this case is about more than just capital punishment. Thanks for your kind consideration dear friend.

Dear Samsam,

This is as worthy as any other cause. This is in my view a case of miscarriage of justice, and it is as wrong in a dictatorship as in a democratic nation. The difference is that in a dictatorship there is so much denial of justice that those falling victim to the miscarriage of justice are counted amongst the more fortunate.

Ari Jaan,

I don't know if there is any implication in your comment that the other victim was killed by this woman, and I do not wish to restart the long debate again, but for those who have not followed those comments, I have to say that I was one of those who initially thought that she deserved what she gets, bar death. We were all fooled by the media who persecuted her. The case was dismissed in 2008 for not having followed the correct procedure. There was no evidence against her except her confession after a year of denial, and the judge's insight. The same publicity seeking judge that instead of maintaining his independence was providing heart wrenching commentary whilst the video was being aired. Do you see this loopy, crazy woman capable of covering her trace so professionally? They even found semen on the victim. She is hysterically talking about last conversation with the victim when victim told her that they came. When she washed her hands and asked for forgiveness. She was called and asked to go to that house by someone called Hafez. Why none of these are properly investigated?

And amongst all these, what seems to upset her most is that in his comments to journalists, he has belittled their love to a lust. In court she recites romantic poetry and tries to save her love instead of saving herself.

I do not say with certainty that she did not commit this crime, but there is no evidence that she did it, and evidence in fact suggest that it was carried out by a man, or perhaps more than one. The other victim was a victim of a crime, and this one was a victim of a miscarriage of justice.

BTW, it is “Beeston ra eshgh ...”
