“اشتباه از ما بود
اشتباه از ما بود که خواب سرچشمه را در خیال پیاله می دیدیم
دستهامان خالی
دلهامان پر
گفتگوهامان مثلا یعنی ما
کاش می دانستیم
هیچ پروانه ای پریروز پیلگی خویش را به یاد نمی آورد
حالا مهم نیست که تشنه به رویای آب می میریم
از خانه که می آئی
یک دستمال سفید، پاکتی سیگار، گزینه شعر فروغ
و تحملی طولانی بیاور
احتمال گریستن ما بسیار است”

“Like This
If anyone asks you
how the perfect satisfaction
of all our sexual wanting
will look, lift your face
and say,
Like this.
When someone mentions the gracefulness
of the nightsky, climb up on the roof
and dance and say,
Like this.
If anyone wants to know what "spirit" is,
or what "God’s fragrance" means,
lean your head toward him or her.
Keep your face there close.
Like this.
When someone quotes the old poetic image
about clouds gradually uncovering the moon,
slowly loosen knot by knot the strings
of your robe.
Like this.
If anyone wonders how Jesus raised the dead,
don’t try to explain the miracle.
Kiss me on the lips.
Like this. Like this.
When someone asks what it means
to "die for love," point
here.
If someone asks how tall I am, frown
and measure with your fingers the space
between the creases on your forehead.
This tall.
The soul sometimes leaves the body, the returns.
When someone doesn’t believe that,
walk back into my house.
Like this.
When lovers moan,
they’re telling our story.
Like this.
I am a sky where spirits live.
Stare into this deepening blue,
while the breeze says a secret.
Like this.
When someone asks what there is to do,
light the candle in his hand.
Like this.
How did Joseph’s scent come to Jacob?
Huuuuu.
How did Jacob’s sight return?
Huuuu.
A little wind cleans the eyes.
Like this.
When Shams comes back from Tabriz,
he’ll put just his head around the edge
of the door to surprise us
Like this.”

“We all need someone to look at us. we can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. the first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. the second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. they are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. they are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. this happens to nearly all of them sooner or later. people in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. one day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. and finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. they are the dreamers.”

“باور نمی کند، دل من مرگ خویش را
نه، نه من این یقین را باور نمی کنم
تا همدم من است، نفسهای زندگی
من با خیال مرگ دمی سر نمی کنم
آخر چگونه گل، خس و خاشک می شود ؟
آخر چگونه، این همه رویای نو نهال
نگشوده گل هنوز
ننشسته در بهار
می پژمرد به جان من و، خاک می شود ؟
در من چه وعده هاست
در من چه هجرهاست
در من چه دستها به دعا مانده روز و شب
اینها چه می شود ؟
آخر چگونه این همه عشاق بی شمار
آواره از دیار
یک روز بی صدا
در کوره راه ها همه خاموش می شوند ؟
باور کنم که دخترکان سفید بخت
بی وصل و نامراد
بالای بامها و کنار دریاچه ها
چشم انتظار یار، سیه پوش می شوند ؟
باور نمی کنم که عشق نهان می شود به گور
بی آنکه سر کشد گل عصیانی اش ز خاک
باور کنم که دل
روزی نمی تپد
نفرین برین دروغ، دروغ هراسناک
پل می کشد به ساحل آینده شعر من
تا رهروان سرخوشی از آن گذر کنند
پیغام من به بوسه لبها و دستها
پرواز می کند
باشد که عاشقان به چنین پیک آشتی
یک ره نظر کنند
در کاوش پیاپی لبها و دستهاست
کاین نقش آدمی
بر لوحه زمان
جاوید می شود
این ذره ذره گرمی خاموش وار ما
یک روز بی گمان
سر می زند جایی و خورشید می شود
تا دوست داری ام
تا دوست دارمت
تا اشک ما به گونه هم می چکد ز مهر
تا هست در زمانه یکی، جان دوستدار
کی مرگ می تواند
نام مرا بروبد از یاد روزگار ؟
بسیار گل که از کف من برده است باد
اما من غمین
گلهای یاد کس را پرپر نمی کنم
من مرگ هیچ عزیزی را
باور نمی کنم
می ریزد عاقبت
یک روز برگ من
یک روز چشم من هم در خواب می شود
زین خواب چشم هیچ کسی را گریز نیست
اما درون باغ
همواره عطر باور من، در هوا پر است”
