Love makes the bittersweet
And love makes the king slave
And love makes the dead alive
So make me your prisoner
In the prison of your palms
And in the end, I will get free,

Encircle my cheeks
With your palms so perfectly
leaving a small window
Through which I will see
The sky in your eyes

Lock the gates of your hand
With million locks
And when you are dissolved in me
Then you desire to free me
In that moment of freedom
I will give you a kiss on each key

That freedom will bind me
In your earnest soul
Thinking why I was away from you
For such a long time
And now never to go away
From this sour-sweet mixture!

Yesterday
In pain
My sister danced
And my mother laughed
But I was crying...

دیروز
در درد
خواهرم می رقصید
و مادرم می خندید
...اما من گریه می کردم
one sparrow is knocking at the door... گنجشکی به در می کوبد
The smell of your hair
Left on my hand
Colorful;
And after your soil,
I have no meaning
The long white tuberose stems...

بوی موهایت
مانده به روی دستم
...رنگی
و بعد از خاک ات
من معنا ندارم
...ساقه های سپید بلند مریم
Jealousy elopes my heart
And pains of love grows like plant
I wish you **** my twin breast
So I hive wax of honey into your mind-nest

For I am thirsty of love
Since I fall for you in secret love
My eyes hope to drink your cup
So I fly so high like dove swooning in a cusp

Spreading my wings in your arms
For in the nursery of flowers farm
My preserve dignity I shall offer you in charms
Promise me you shall come to pay the alms

So the thirst of love be quenched
I want to drink from you to be satisfied
From the well of your manhood
Where your reflection mirrored in my womb

In this I laid in soil tomb
Without regret but to aplomb
The cup you give me
As my soul rest in forever

Tides change rising waves

now we should start fresh
my bones are weak, hard is flesh
the fragrance was gone and no sensual flesh
nothing like my youth is crispy and fresh
my soul is right but all is wrong with flesh
if you don't commit sin to my flesh, them i.m pretty fresh

my poems speak the truth
they are gold and do not glitter

my words are mechanics and fitter
cleans the room of heart and clear the litter

some are short as a diamond, some are long as an arrow
but they all make my readers independent and not to borrow

but in this world are living good and bad people from all the races
they try to catch the fishes and never misses to crush the marrow

some **** the birds to eat but some loves the sparrow
some destroy the crops but some plants the seed in the furrow

So an arrow should be in accordance to strike from the bow
we need everything in life, so keep an eye on grass and the cow

While going you ask me, May I go
Now you tell me, What should I reply?
Seeing you going, I feel as the fire of
My own lamp is burning my home, I'm shocked.

Some may recite a sad song or play on flute
But now my own mind does not belong to body
As your spirit do not own your body, but
Wasting water on a withered plant in backyard

Just think the loneliness of the deserted journey
No partner in another way in the hot sand of weeds
There is no noise, but it is very difficult for the bird to fly
That a sun can hide in the sun in the burning sky

Life is not the same when you see the mirror alone
The veil lifts and you go away with the fast breeze
and the flesh of the young fruits prompt to the breast
Now you do not even support yourself to as water in palm

I know many stories and tales of Laila Majnoo, Heer Raanjha
But, when dude is in the aspect, so, where to find the moon
I wanted to swim with you in an ocean of unlimited abundance
Not swimming in swimming pool, what is kept in river or ponds

Have you thought anything about your better half before going
It seems as you have deprived me of my light.lamp and oil of life

Today,,,I am as fresh as yesterday
My black hair has a thread of gray

Ten Commandments right in what they say
Love and kisses to all without any doubt or betray

Plant Roses or myrtle tree regularly not only in May
Open your heart to all seasons with Golden Ray

Touch my heart where your finger lay
And Listen to the sweet bells over the bay !

My black hair has a thread of Gray
But, Today, I am as fresh as yesterday

When sea grows stormy, Long prayers , I say ,
Asking for those gifts again my Lord gave yesterday

I dare not move my dim eyes any way
My Lord is in the fields, on the seas, in the winds at play,

Let me inhale
the scent of your breath

opening a window for sky and earth

With so great ease, You wake me up
To fill my inner and outer empty space
All rooms, kitchen, pots, plate and cup
with kind shining face and special grace

As a baby, mind loves sacred fire
As father's heart with proud desire
As the world glimmers on her neck
As armed beauty of wisdom check

You have Never been a stranger
Living within me ecstatic manager
Myself always found divine nectar
Hunger delights under your shelter

I Listen to your godly jubilant voice
Clouds hide the moon a nature choice
In the lake of soul, stars shine reflect
Trust Light, The sky is without defect

Time and condition
changes whit sun
Seekers learn
To wear coat of future
Finds reasons to smile

So speaks golden voice
Explore the tug of unseen
On visible fabric of days
Kissing a future space
Smelling
Exotic scent of lucid painting
Floating on sea of the desires

Dramatic moments
Tattooed butterflies
Hazel silhouette
Autumn touching winter
Crossing Incandescent lines

Poet knows
From winter to spring to summer to autumn
All answers come in present
From future to pay the past

Don't love me
Please don't love me
I flirt in words from my soul
and don't want to hurt you

For heaven sake I am just
A sculptor of words
Facing my pregnancy alone
Soon I die in forlorn

For I soul deserved
and don't want you to be
Widowed for my name sake
Please don't love me please don't love me

For emotions and passions
Feel your dying heart
In this my heart bears a life
Wherewithal I love you like

A pear fruit, wearing jealousy
For pomegranates my muse
So entice as it grants me hope

That Jasmine and roses forbade
Orchid scents cloak in my soul
And irises of lotus promise me riches
And I am just an ordinary poet

Please don't love please don't love me
My soul incline a time uneven
If truly you love me then a sign from heaven
My soul won't decline

Only to love you back as I flirt
With words from my soul to your soul
Please love me for the sake of love
In this I die with unflirting words

And your glance,
Was the aroma of an orange tree...
That used to turn my body green;
When I'm seeing you,
Spring grows in me...
و نگاهت
بوي درخت نارنج اي ست
که تنم را
سبز مي کند
نگاهت که می کنم
بهار در من مي روید
============================
It might seem strange to you
But I didn't just change
I grew with time
in your best company

your words have a deep vocabulary
and each sentence is a complete story
and you taught me a poem of nature

Everything on Earth is temporary like dew on the Lotus
so I never feel the lust of comfort
but do drop like a dew in a pond to stir the still water of the Pond''

In all unknown places,
I just opened my heart
To let the world enter
Ploughed it far and wide,
Letting behind deep furrows

No one could see
My heart furrows crying
I waited for healing season
And its gates opened soon

Travelers began pilgrimage
To temple of my Crops,
They picked wheat harvest
In the middle of my youth

I chose not to rust
The flour from dust
Baked it in my heart oven
Shared it to every hungry one

Despite of all
The windows of heaven
widely open
The stars in the moonlight
singing a song of love
Despite of all
God loves you
Unconditional love
Needless to be afraid of darkness
Needless to cry shed no tears
You are not alone smile with the wind
Embracing godly given wind inhaling godly given thy sweet breeze you are not alone
The windows of heaven wildly open
The stars in the moonlight singing a song of love
Despite of all
God loves you

Why The wetness in my eyes
could not be drawn ?!!

چرا خیسی چشمانم نقاشی نمی شدند !؟
The chair is sighing
The walls walking
The mirror feeling sick of my ugly face
That curtains are annoying too
I don't see the windows in the
silence that chocks the sparrows
The trees has made me a prison
My dreams are long
Longer than the shadows and
with their lappets I'll sew a dress
Its buttons up to my eyes .
An afraid balloon may be plays
with the hands of a child in the distance
And the victim would be a lady
tomorrow letting go all her
childhood in hands of the wind
I look at my future...

1- I love to be in the arms of a man
In the hands has not touched any
woman's breast

2-I see a pregnant lady coming
down the stairs not thinking of her tomorrow
lullabying for the dolls
I've forgotten the names of my dolls

3-I have a child
tying her shoelaces I can't say
how much I love her even in my eyes
Backing home from a daily
shopping,she sings with her
childish voice passing through
the alleys

4-I'm old
Mum and dad are not with me anymore
They had to go
The photo frames,just excuses
for touching my memories
The chair is still sighing
The walls walking and
It's just me
Dead this time .


صندلی آه می کشد
دیوارها راه می روند
آینه
از زشتی صورتم
استفراغ می کند
پرده ها هم مزاحم اند
پنجره را نمی دیدم
در آن سکوتی که گنجشک را خفه کرد
درختان
زندان را برایم ساخته اند
مدتیست
خواب هایم از سایه ها
بلند تر می شوند
با دنباله اش
لباسی خواهم دوخت
که دکمه هایش از چشمانم
بسته شوند
از دور
شاید
بادبادکی
-هراسان-
در دستان دختر بچه ای همبازی می شد
فردا
قربانی خانمی خواهد بود
که تمام کودکی هایش را با باد رها می سازد
به آینده ام نگاه می کنم

1- دوست دارم در آغوش مردی باشم
که دستانش
سینه های زنی را لمس نکرده اند

2- زنی باردار را می دیدم
که از پله ها پایین می آمد
بی آنکه به فردایش بیندیشد
برای عروسک ها لالایی می خواند
من اسم تمام عروسک هایم را فراموش کرده ام

3- کودکی دارم
بند کفش هایش را می بندم
دستان گرمش را می گیرم
حتی با چشمانم هم
نمی توانم بگویم
چقدر دوستش دارم
از کوچه ها می گذریم
با صدای بچه گانه اش
شعر می خواند و
از خرید روزانه
به خانه برمی گردیم

4-پیر شده ام
دیگر پدر و مادرم در کنارم نیستند
آن ها هم باید می رفتند
قاب عکس ها بهانه اند
تا خاطراتم را نوازش کنم
هنوز
صندلی آه می کشد
دیوارها راه می روند
فقط منم
که این بار مرده بودم
Down to the forest
We harness our mind
Tears of freedom we create

Oh dance my marionette
Dance on this stage
The whole world is just a
deception
Dance in this chance
Make me happy
Make them happy
I will laugh...
I will laugh
At the wings of angle
Hugging you
Taking you to a safer place
Cos playing with dolls is ''death''
I will laugh
At my walking
On silky feet
As you wished for
One day you'll touch the clouds
It makes no difference
What the color of our sky is
We shouted
Prisoners' singing in you eyes is
not a ''sin''
In your colorful illusion,
They draw the image of the silent
movement of the clouds in the
colorful sky.
She was playing bells
They lose the anthem
Her silent is insulting
Their silent is insulting
We do not create crime
And we take captives
And we do not have freedom
And we take captives
When that time comes ?
The time that a plant grows from
the crack of the hard stripy.
They don't want the smile
And I will laugh
At the good days
At the sunny days
At the shade of the trees that are gone
That will make you laugh
I swear I will laugh


عروسک خیمه شب بازی من
برقص
در این میدان برقص
تمام دنیا فریب است
در این فرصت برقص
شادم کن
شادشان بکن
...من خواهم خندید
من خواهم خندید
به بال های فرشته ای
که تو را در آغوش می گیرد
به جایی امن تر خواهد برد
که بازی عروسک ها
مرگ است
من خواهم خندید
به راه رفتن
روی توک پاهای ابریشمیم
که تو منتظرش بودی
روزی ابرها را لمس خواهی کرد
فرقی نمی کند
اگر آسمان ما
چه رنگ باشد
زندانیان که گناه نمی کنند
اگر در چشمان تو آواز خواندند
تصویر ساکت ابرهای در حال حرکت را
در آسمان های رنگارنگ
در خیال رنگی تو می کشند
بلز می زد
سرودها را گم می کنند
سکوتش فحش است
سکوتشان فحش است
ما جنایت نمی آفرینیم و
اسیر می کنیم
ما آزادی نداریم و
اسیر می کنیم
کی می رسد که اگر از شکاف
راه راه های سخت
گیاهی بروید
تبسم نمی خواهند
و من خواهم خندید
به روزهای خوب
به روزهای آفتابی
به سایه های درختانی که رفته اند
که تو را خواهند خنداند
به خدا خواهم خندید
above wasteland
swarming birds in sky
black smoke billows

I buy hairpins
And the scissor makes friend
with the balloon...

من گل سر می خرم
و قیچی
...با بادبادک دوست می شود
macabre of hope resides at one's eyes
as one's body buried in the rough sands of sea
the water of life cleanse my carnal bones
as estranged moments of dust shroud my flesh
alleluia hymns, sound with brightening candle lights
as i kneel at altar of the divine
roots of enigma my tongue praises the footstool of God
the earth is an offal and heaven is a ravenous beast
that feeds upon the earth
sparks of lightening glows like a gossamer winged with dragonfly
gory air of tussling between forces reign
dragging for my soul possession
terrified by the foolishness of peaceful ether
the soul id the window of one's eyes
it's the hope that lights one dark body
by this force, immortality cloves one's flesh
in other to reside with one i choose forever

Its deer doesn't laugh
No pencil sharpener ever

کیف های مدرسه ام لنگه به لنگه اند
گوزن اش نمی خندد
هیچوقت تراش نداشت
Wishing for the rainbow everyday
Your hands be beautiful
To see my eyes
To kiss my skirt
I don't like my feet...

من هر روز رنگین کمان را آرزو می کنم
دست های تو زیبا باشد
چشم های مرا ببیند
دامنم را ببوسد

i love flowers
when i am greeting between two mountains...

من گل ها را دوست دارم

1/December/1996
About ten in the morning
With a city that was registered
only in my birth certificate
I...
1st of December
-In calendar-
It could not have been there
It was not its fault
Its mother is a *****

The joy of my childhood songs
Missing the balloons
How was the sky so blue?!!!
White clouds ran slowly
They didn't see my childhood ?!
The loneliness of my doll ?!
Perhaps her left hand
has fallen here

daddy
beat my head firmly
That's why
all my dolls
were made without head
Mommy...
You did not even look like
a scream

Oh my little beloved !
Close your eyes instead of me
because
Open eyes are staring
drying
dying...
I whisper again
I wish I was blind
Why am I to be seen?
Oh my little beloved !
goodbye
I'm growing up...
I don't need you anymore
And I still love my childhood
My sister...
She is dancing with me
like her clockwork doll
What is her crime ?
Her thought is pink

How much the window and I are alike !
only when I look to the sky
from this framework
to be in the arms of God
I am not
a bird
to stay in the cage
Death
or
The rescue of flight
Freedom has no meaning...

If I die, what happens next?
My sister is still dancing !
Will my mother laugh?!
The flowers are still fragrant?!
The trees are tall !
The waters are flowing !
And still, when his people pass by
are they greeting happily ?

What happened to me?!
You were such a kind person
that the birds
made their nests on your hands
I wonder...
Calling me lady these days
Happy birthday !
Please do not swear at me


یازدهم آذرماه
سال یک هزار و سیصد و هفتاد و پنج
حوالی ده صبح
با شهری که فقط به اسم در شناسنامه ام ثبت شد
...من
یازدهم آذرماه
-در تقویم-
می توانست نباشد
تقصیر خودش نبود
مادرش هرز است
شادی ترانه های بچگیم
بادبادک ها را گم می کند
چگونه آسمان آنقدر آبی بود!؟
ابرهای سفید به آرامی دویدند
مگر کودکی های مرا نمی دیدند!؟
تنهایی عروسکم را
شاید دست چپش همین جا افتاده باشد
بابا
محکم به سرم می کوبد
برای همین است
که تمام عروسک هایم بدون سر ساخته شده اند
...مامان
شبیه جیغ هم نبودی
محبوب کوچکم
تو به جای من چشمانت را ببند
چشمان باز
خیره می مانند
خشک می شوند
می میرند
باز با خودم می گویم
کاش من کور می بودم
چرا من بودم که باید می دیدم!؟
محبوب کوچکم
خداحافظ
من دارم بزرگ می شوم
و دیگر به تو نیازی ندارم
...خواهرم
مثل عروسک کوکی اش با من می رقصد
او چه گناهی دارد
فکرش صورتیست
چه قدر من و پنجره شبیه به هم هستیم
تنها وقتی از این چهارچوب
به آسمان نگاه می کنم
که در آغوش خدا باشم
من پرنده ای نیستم
که در قفس بمانم
یا مرگ
یا رهایی پرواز
آزادی معنایی ندارد
اگر بمیرم
فردایش چه می شود!؟
خواهرم هنوز می رقصد
مادرم خواهد خندید
گل ها هنوز خوشبو اند
درختان بلند اند
آب ها جاری هستند
و هنوز وقتی آدم هایش از کنار هم می گذرند
با روی خوش به هم سلام می کنند!؟
چه اتفاقی برایم افتاد
تو آنقدر مهربان بودی
که پرنده ها روی دستانت آشیانه ساخته اند
تعجب می کنم
تازگی ها
مرا خانم صدا می زنند
تولدت مبارک
خواهش می کنم به من فحش ندهید
first of all, i should apologize for the bad translation. i was 18 when i wrote this,now i don't have this view and i forgive my father,and i don't like this poem,but i want to share my thoughts to you

I am thy now and always
I am thy feed me with your sleep

What would be the color of my sky ?
I'll tear up the clouds
My small tongue kisses you
The sun is turning
Your white teeth was biting two round points
Your dandelion is growing
The wheat is always menstruated in my poems
And I like to sleep on the back of my red backpack

آسمان من چه رنگ خواهد بود ؟
ابرها را پاره می کنم
زبان کوچک من تو را می بوسد
خورشید می چرخد
دندان های سفیدت
دو نقطه ی گرد را به هم گاز می گرفت
قاصدک تو بلند می شود
گندم ها همیشه در قصه های من پریود اند
و من
دوست دارم
پشت کیف قرمز رنگ مدرسه ام بخوابم
