Aboutaleb Toupa Esfandiari Poems

Once I saw a crow
In a naked tree
That was a big lesson
To humanity.
...

Leave your cares behind you,

Happiness will find you
...

Though leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.
...

When will this sky
care my moarn and sigh?

My essance it burns,
...

When I was a school kid,
They said: 'study' and I did.
But now I think I was a fool,
Or I would not have gone to school;
...

Out in a meadow, one winter
Complained so a lonely leaf:
' Alas, all those who did love me
Left me all alone in grief.
...

Giving birth to a child
Is like making a fire;
Whether it leads to delight
Or to terror, and afire.
...
