POETRY
ماه از بالا همچنان نگران زمين مىچرخيد
خيابانها تاريك بودند و زمزمه محبت از هيچ جا به گوش نمىرسيد.
دو سايه از يك جيپ بيرون پريدند
و سكوت شب را شكستند.
به آرامى به خانه آجرى كوچك با در آبى رنگ نزديك شدند.
با عباى دراز و چفيه مانند دو خيمه در حال حركت مينمودند

Did Rumi and Shams-i Tabrizi have any religious affiliations?
There has been a lot of historic debate about the religious affiliations of Shams-i Tabrizi and Mowlana Jallallud’in Rumi. Much of the conjecture about whether or not Shams-i Tabrizi or Rumi were Shi'a, Sunni, Shafe'i, Hannafi or Ismaili is just that, pure speculation. Shams-i Tabrizi did not belong to any specific denomination or sect, and if he did, nobody really knows; all scholars agree that history is not clear about the life and works of Shams-Tabrizi. The only text ascribed to him, "Maqalaat-e Shams" was compiled by others who attributed certain words to him, and they are not written in stone by Shams-i Tabrizi himself

بر پیشانی دوستان نشان نمازست
پرسم و نگویندم این چه رازست
هر چند بر لبت نام خدا آوازست

My new year shall begin
with everything sweet:
Shekar, symbol of power and wealth,
Sharab, to celebrate this wonderful year,
Sharbat, for our youth and their health,
Sher e Shahname, to keep near
the stories that are our own,

Not a sacred warrior,
Nor with a bayonet blessed by God.
Not even a human being,
Just a simple peasant, a surrogate,
A sacrificial lamb, a frightened child,
Chosen by the rich to be an instrument of war

عشق تو شد در دل فرهاد خون

POETRY
نوروز نوید نوبهار آورده است
عیدی، خنکای کوهسار آورده است
دلسوختگان ِ فصل بی باران را
امسال دلی امیدوار آورده است
از کوچه شمیم آشنا می آید
این عطر بنفشه از کجا می آید

POETRY
Let's not forget our precious slain brothers and sisters
I saw your picture lying down in the morgue
God's masterpiece
You looked exactly like David
Michelangelo's masterpiece
Except that:
Your body seemed so well proportioned
But David's head is a bit too big
For its form

در سکوتی سنگین
که نفس در تنگنای سینه حبس میشد

POETRY
The first Nowruz was not when a king lit a fire.
Nowruz is not when day is equal to night.
It is not when earth does a full circle.
It ain't when the calenders change.
Nowruz does not launch with a fish startling a turtle.
The first Nowruz is ...

In the Spring
Come back with Barbad (*)
Carrying a lute
And wearing a green cape.
Sneak into the royal garden and straddle the brook
Pass with haste from behind the hedges
Look from the corners of your eyes at the suspended apple

بهاران
با باربد بازآ
با بربطی در بر

از جویبار باغ شاه ، شبانه به درون رو
شتابان از پشت شمشاد ها بگذر
به سیب چرخان روی فواره ازگوشه ی چشم نگاه کن

POETRY
راز محبّت بمن آموختی
شعله زدی جان مرا سوختی
حکمت گفتن به زبانم زدی
قفل تکلم به دهانم زدی
ای تو همه من سخن اغاز کن
قفل سکوت از لب من باز کن

No longer longing for
My mother’s milk,
Cutting off this umbilical cord.
No need for my father’s
Confirming gazes as this
Child is standing on its own
