The Sorrows of the World

soheil khodaparasti

The Sorrows of the World

 

The sorrows of the world possess a world of their own,

Endless and boundless,

They do not die.

Like energy,

They transform

From one form into another.

 

At times, a hammer

Crashing upon the nest of a grieving bird.

 

At times, an arrow

Piercing the breast of a captive love.

 

At times, a spark to feed the lamp of life,

A glimmer for survival,

And a strength for imagination.

 

 

آلام عالم

 

آلام عالم عالمی دارد

بی انتها و بی منتها

مرگ ندارد

مانند انرژی

از شکلی به شکلی دیگر

تبدیل می شود

 

گاه پتکی است

بر آشیان مرغی غمین

 

گاه تیری

بر سینۀ مهری رهین

 

گاه شرری از برای چراغ زندگی

بارقه ای برای بقا

و توانی برای تخیل

 

 

سهیل خداپرستی
