هست شب

هست شب، يك شب دم كرده و خاك رنگ رخ باخته است
باد - نو باوه ي ابر - از بر كوه
سوي من تاخته است
هست شب، همچو ورم كرده تني گرم در استاده هوا
هم ازين روست نمي بيند اگر گمشده اي راهش را
با تنش گرم،بيابان دراز
مرده را ماند در گورش تنگ
به دل سوخته من ماند
به تنم خسته، كه مي سوزد از هيبت تب
هست شب . آري شب

You are absolutely correct: He was the father of Modern Persian Poetry .....

Shamlou, Moshiri, and others looked up to him in many ways as their mentor .. He is not as recognized today as he was before because of a lot of other poets that we all know about :)

Hi R2-D2,

    Thank you for introducing the new poet to us. I read his bio last night. He had an unusual and interesting life. Apparently he spoke an Iranian dialect besides Farsi and he was partly Georgian decent. He was a ditcher when he was little and also attended Catholic school. I am not sure if he was a Catholic or a Muslim. The amazing thing is that they label him "Father of  modern Persian poetry. Unfortunately not lot of work has been translated to English. Moshiri seems to have higher profile than him outside Iran.I am sure the guy was great. I did read several translated poems on-line last night. He used "personifications" a lot in his poem, even in the "It is Night" poem.

Thank you for sharing! 

P.S. I found a website with tons of beautifully translated Divan e Shams. I got excited! They have Farsi and English poems side-by-side!

IT IS NIGHT


It is night

A night of deep darkness.

On a branch of the old fig tree

A frog croaks without cease,

Predicting a storm, a deluge,

and I am drowned in fear.

 

It is night,

And with night the world seems

like a corpse in the grave;

And in fear I say to myself:

"What if torrential rain falls everywhere?"

"What if the rain does not stop

until the earth sinks into the water

like a small boat?"

 

In this night of awful darkness

Who can say in what state we will be

when dawn breaks?

Will the morning light make

the frightening face of the storm

disappear?
