Farzad Jahanbani Poems

Or 'From Syria & Palestine To Iraq & Yemen & To Beirut & Paris'


Oh, child! Why do you sleep deep beneath the waves?
...

Every morning
Front of me
Rise
Two bright suns;
...

The world;
The city,
In the North,
Is climbing up from the mountain;
...

All leaves fall down

Paint of last leaf on wall -
...

دلم گرفته؛ تو کودک! چه خفته ای در آب؟
از آن عبور سياهت ز مرزهای سراب؟

دلم گرفته از اين مرگ های پی در پی
...

This woman is

Plastic
...

Come and revive me now
Come and give me a new spirit
The spirit of art
The spirit of commitment
...

My house is here;
Below the Azadi Tower,
My heart is there;
Above the Milad Tower,
...

On the canvas of life

The sum of all colors is
...

امشب چو غزل گشتم؛
شه بيت تويی جانا

هم اول و هم آخر
...
