Nation

you are tearing

you are tearing

you are torn in two

 

like your nation

your beautiful nation

you are torn asunder

 

there are two of you

 

and it wounds you

so you wound others

to heal those wounds

 

but the battle

that rages

must be fought in you

 

because you

only you 

can heal your nation’s wounds 

 

your beautiful wounded nation

is waitng for you 

 

nation of  Haafez

of Forough  

nation of nightengale and rose

 

of koroush

bahaullah

of al-quarezmi 

and mossadegh

 

shirin ebaadi

kiarostaami

nation of you

 

your beautiful bleeding  nation

is waiting for beautiful you

 

and the final 

conflagration

must burn in you

and the forest must succumb

to the flames

 

and the Light

must triumph

over dark

it is foretold

 

new growth emergimg

far richer than ever imagined

 

trees of Faith

trees of Strength

trees of sacred Truth

 

of branches

reaching out

embracing the world with Light

 

and the time

it is now

and has always been now

it is here right here

this is your time Iraan

 

Everything is Sacred

the Sacred is You

 

 

Jaavid Iraan

I will never lose Faith in You.
