Amir Khosro Alai Poems

My beautiful bird, if you come to me,
A blossoming spring for us shall be,

Tenderly soothing my broken heart,
...

My aunt had a lovely daughter named Mehry,
Her acts and deeds matched an angel so fairly,
She lived her life contemplating on Baha,
The sole key to enter the Kingdom of Abha,
...

Like the gravity holding me down,
Satan is a wave or a trend in town,
Alike the air wrapping me around,
Embracing, dragging down my mind,
...

چه شد روزگاران تاج کیان،
چه شد عصر جمشید و شیر ژیان،
عرب را که میخورد ملخ در کویر،
بگشت کشورش عاری از یک فقیر،
...

Did all I wanted and took what I could,
Healthy and happy, I touch the wood,
Life doesn't treat me, I treat life,
The one I can't handle is my wife,
...

He lived long and he lived well,
He sure in heaven dwells as well,
A man of honor, a man of fame,
Still in Iran remains his name,
...

When morning begins by looking into your eyes,
The day is shining, craving to see you at night,
When the night ends rapped by your kisses,
Sleep dominates the deep leisure of the night.
...

Hengameh, my beloved was so kind,
To every being, less to the humankind!

She loved all the animals and the birds,
Adoring flowers, trees and the herds,
...

We went on the streets to watch,
The glory of freedom as we march,
The air was full of joy, I felt and knew,
The joy of a great nation by not a few,
...

I put all my desires off my heart,
Those not given are not my part,
No longer dream, no wish to make,
What is given to me is what I take,
...
