Poem

With sincere appologies to all the "real" poets out there...

Bia benshin goosh be gheseham ey doost
Beshno as man dastaneh in gerye ra

Har ghatreh az in ashk ra mibini?
Daneh daneh sharhy darand az khod be joda

Har hegh hegheh in gerye ra mishenavi?
Har navayash razy por az gham migooyand

Negah kon be dastaneh larzanam ey rafigh
Ke shooreh javani ra poshteh sar sepordand

Yek rooz ye roozegar yeki bood yeki nabood
Gheseh man aghazash bood roozhayeh door

Roozreh aval payash ra gozasht too donyam
Roozeh dovom negahash ra dookht be negaham

Roozeh sevom labkhandash larzand tanam ra
Roozeh charom salamash feshord ghalbam ra

Roozeh panjom goft doostam darad
Roozeh sheshom goft zendegi va janash hastam

Roozeh haftom ghalbam ra be oo hedieh kardam
Roozeh hashtom shenavar boodam dar eshgheh zeebayash

Roozeh nohom dasteh garmash navazesham nakard
Roozeh dahom boosehash ra hes nakardam

Eshgheh ghashangam ra gom kardam dar shab
ghalbam ra bakhtam dar ghomareh zendegi

Donyayam siah shod o tarik cho shab
Roozegaram tabah shod, khali o sard

Nagozar gheseham delat ra begirad ey doost
Faghat bedan dalileh sargardanyam ra

Een bood gheseh ashkam, dastaneh geryeham, va sharheh dastanam
Een ast javabeh cheshmam, razeh gham o rooyeh basteham.
