برسد بدست دلبر | تک بیت

My heart longs for a forest, rain, and moonlight,
It desires a wooden cabin by the water’s side.

So weary am I of this world that, preferably,
My heart yearns for a poem filled with balanced images and pure imagination.

Oh pen, I take refuge in you—draw a flock of ducks,
For my heart craves the perfect calmness by the edge of a pond.

A world free of fear, with neither hyenas nor dogs,
My heart desires a green forest filled with squirrels.

Pour all the essence of my poetry into tonight’s ghazal,
For this dreamy vision needs nothing more than a single frame.

In your poem, spread a carpet of acacia blossoms for me,
For the poet’s weary mind longs for just two hours of sleep.
