Appreciate a lot you uploading this. Sorry but the English translation is far from what He says.

For example "Sare soozan zoghi", "Doostani behtar az aabe ravan", "Agahi-e AAb", Ghanoon-e derakht" and many more. I appreciate if you rewrite it if you have translated yourself. If others have translated you may send them my comment.

@ksaeid Thanks for comment ,

No i didn´t translated . As i in the side bar i add the translation is by Maryam Dilmaghani (only English translation available on web ).

I am sure if Salvador Dali(Spanish Surrealist painter ) was poet no one could translate him either.

I´ll be glad to have better translation .

@ksaeid

I've read a number of translations done by M. Dimaghani and I must say that although she is innovative and has a good taste in choosing words, but she takes too much liberty in capturing imageries created originally by poets.

[ivan191919]

Sometimes there is no way to translate a piece like its original text, and considering cultural language and literary structures of the language into which a piece is translated, one should not translate but rather interoperate it most suitably to that language and culture. One should never take the liberty to change it, thus writing their own poetry, something M. Dilmaghani often does.

Amazing poetry. Peaceful and zen.
