The Solitude of the Moon - Forough Farrkhzad




    All the way in the dark,

    A somber breeze was flowing in the air,

    and lonely crickets were yearning:

    “Hey moon, generous moon…”

    All the way in the dark,

    A row of the trees with their full of desire sighs,

    like devotees of mysterious gods

    were constantly pleading:

    “Hey moon, generous moon…”

    All the way in the dark,

    Fireflies were blazing in a moving ring

    And there, thousands of mourning souls

    in the veiled live side of the soil

    were whispering:

    “Hey moon, generous moon…”

    And there, all the way in the dark

    a captive fairy in seize of the shades

    in a silent, green bog was listening to young frogs

    they were all singing:

    “Hey moon, generous moon…”

    All the way in the dark,

    The moon was burning in flames

    The moon was the loneliest soul of the silent night.

    The moon was bursting

    in his golden grief

    in an eternal dark.
