It was on the eighth year

That Love descended

And the salty taste

Of sorry years of separation

Burnt deep in my throat.

Brought back to mind the grief.

مگر ماری؟ / شعر / ترجمه به زبان انگلیسی

Are You a Snake?

Translated by Sholeh Wolpe©2007

In an extensive commentary on Quran’s Sureh of Yusef, it is mentioned that

among animals only snakes cannot hear one another.

 

 

From behind the curtain of fog

through the scattered bird plumes and feathers

from among white teeth and claws

your wild murmur

makes me breathless with yearning.

Five mornings a week

Fifty weeks of mornings

My sun rises

In the rear-view mirrors of buses

And each day in an old courthouse

Awaits me a small desk

An English-Farsi dictionary

A heap of summonses--a spiraling justice

And the relentless ringing of telephones.

Eruption

 

Yellow silk cocoon,

Butterfly flaps fluttering

Disheveled hair, bare feet

The little girl

Sets out in the breeze

Children flittering

And lost games linger in afternoon haze.

Where is that twelve-year-old girl?

With my dolls and jump ropes

And cardboard house

And a drop of blood

A veil between childhood

And puberty’s dawn.

انسانم من / شعر/ ترجمه به زبان انگلیسی

 I Am Human

 

Translation by: Zara Houshmand

Zara Houshmandã1997

 

 

The first part of this poem is from the eye of a patriarchal society towards women, and the second part is a woman’s voice, that denounces the repression of that society, for she knows her values and abilities.

 

Bow your form

In sight of the earth.

Hide your face

From the light of the sun and the moon.

                  For you are a woman.

Epilogue

Earlier, the prominent fiction writer, Muhammad Ali Jamaalzaadeh, in a letter praising her article [about Hooshang Golshiri’s short story, Jobeh Khaaneh], had also believed her to be a man.
