Quotes

  • ترا میخواهم و دانم که هرگز
به کام دل در آغوشت نگیرم
توئی آن آسمان صاف و روشن
من این کنج قفس، مرغی اسیرم
want you, yet I know that never
can I embrace you to my heart's content.
you are that clear and bright sky.
I, in this corner of the cage, am a captive bird...
_The Captive
  • ...هوس در دیدگانش شعله افروخت
شراب سرخ در پیمانه رقصید
تن من در میان بستر نرم
بروی سینه‌اش مستانه لرزید
گنه کردم گناهی پر ز لذت
کنار پیکری لرزان و مدهوش
خداوندا چه میدانم چه کردم
در آن خلوتگه تاریک و خاموش
desire sparked a flame in his eyes;
the red wine danced in the cup.
In the soft bed, my body
drunkenly quivered on his chest.
I sinned a sin full of pleasure,
next to a shaking, stupefied form.
o God, who knows what I did
In that dark and quiet seclusion.
_The Sin
