Here are some new poems by Jahangir Sedaghatfar, our poet from Sarechal, both in his original Persian and in English translation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Thoughts"

 

Hatred

 

We are born prepared to love ;

But hurt can teach us to hate .

 

The one who loves you,

Is a pure soul

Whose character is not fouled by the slime of malice ...

 

Regretfully 

Life is a cruel teacher!

 

***********************

Poverty

 

Poverty opens the way for the destruction of dignity.

Wealth, however,

May look like proof of virtue …

 

But 

The impenetrable wall of injustice

Separates the Rich from the Poor.
