باز من دیوانه ام ، مستم
باز می لرزد ، دلم ، دستم

ای نخورده مست
لحظه ی دیدار نزدیک است”

“همه
لرزش دست و دلم
از آن بود که
که عشق
پناهی گردد،
پروازی نه
گریز گاهی گردد.

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره آبیت پیدا نیست
***
و خنکای مرحمی
بر شعله زخمی
نه شور شعله
بر سرمای درون

ای عشق ای عشق
چهره سرخت پیدا نیست.
***
غبار تیره تسکینی
بر حضور ِ وهن
و دنج ِ رهائی
بر گریز حضور.
سیاهی
بر آرامش آبی
و سبزه برگچه
بر ارغوان
ای عشق ای عشق
رنگ آشنایت
پیدا نیست”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou
