Escape (in Farsi & English)


 

گریز

اینك من و نظارۀ پروانه ای سپید
بر پلّه های قصر زمرّد؛
اینك من و گریز.
آه، ای پرندۀ پنهان
در كوچه های عطر و طراوت،
آوازهای پاکِ تو آیا
بانگی ست تا كه من
آیم برون زِ محبسِ تاریك خویشتن؟

 

 

Escape

Here I am, watching a white butterfly
On the stairs of an emerald palace,
Here I am, on the way of escape.
Oh, you the invisible bird
In a cool fragrant nook
Of the green tower of seclusion,
Is your pure song
An awakening call for me
To break out of the dark prison
Of the Self?
