“می تراود مهتاب


می تراود مهتاب
می درخشد شب تاب
نیست یک دم شکند خواب به چشم کس ولیک
غم این خفته ی چند
خواب در چشم ترم می شکند
نگران با من استاده سحر
صبح می خواهد از من
کز مبارک دم او آورم این قوم به جان باخته را
در جگر لیکن خاری
از ره این سفرم می شکند
نازک آرای تن ساق گلی
که به جانش کشتم
و به جان دادمش آب
ای دریغا به برم می شکند
دست ها می سایم
تا دری بگشایم
بر عبث می پایم
که به در کس آید
در و دیوار به هم ریخته شان
بر سرم می شکند

***

می تراود مهتاب
می درخشد شب تاب
مانده پای آبله از راه دراز
بر دم دهکده مردی تنها
کوله بارش بر دوش
دست او بر در، می گوید با خود:
غم این خفته چند
خواب در چشم ترم می شکند
”
― Nima Yushij

مي باختند، جيبشان را ميگ شتند، آخرين سكه سيم را هم به قمار مي زدند.
مي زدند به سيم آخر، به اميد بردن همه هستي، يا به باد دادن آخرين سكه
نيستي.”
