Baran
I am unfamiliar the tribe of rain, I dream up of the spring generation
Drop by crest, I lend myself to rock explode root
From the sky to the sarcastic remark, I've fallen down to cry
To say publicly thunder and lightning of my tone, the painful tune of my two
strings
From the wind a slap and go over the top with the mountain, I've purchased thorns and
stones
On my own shoulders how far I've carried my tombstone
Where is the habitat of the rain? My two aqueous eyes or the clouds,
I always alias my nest with me, I've gimcrack save for these two homes
The extent is great, betwixt weeping and smiling
You laugh through your window as Farcical rain down upon the pavement
– Mohammad Sharif Saiidi
