Until Dawn

soheil khodaparasti

Until Dawn

 

In this long night,
this lamp
in these hands
is a trust
until dawn.

 

So tend its flame—
with the warmth of your being—
in this cold of non-being,
and let it burn on, unceasingly.

 

تا سپیده‌دم

 

در این شب طولانی
این چراغ
در این دستان

امانتی است
.تا سپیده‌دم

 

پس شعله‌اش را
با گرمای وجود
در این سرمای بی‌وجود
.پیوسته برافروز
