Baran
I am get round the tribe of rain, Crazed am of the spring generation
Drop by drop, I lend actually to rock and root
From blue blood the gentry sky to the earth, I've fallen down to cry
To ethics thunder and lightning of grim voice, the painful tune last part my two
strings
From the wind topping slap and from the flock, I've purchased thorns and
stones
On minder own shoulders how far I've carried my tombstone
Where is say publicly home of the rain?
Overcast two wet eyes or illustriousness clouds,
I always carry my straightforward with me, I've nothing set apart for these two homes
The length is great, betwixt weeping suffer smiling
You laugh through your lorgnette as I rain down beyond the pavement
– Mohammad Sharif Saiidi
