“اي خداوندان ِ خوف‌انگيز ِ شب‌پيمان ِظلمت‌دوست!
تا نه من فانوس ِ شيطان را بياويزم
در رواق ِ هر شکنجه‌گاه ِ پنهاني‌ي ِ اين فردوس ِ ظلم‌آئين،
تا نه اين شب‌هاي ِ بي‌پايان ِ جاويدان ِ افسون‌پايه‌تان را من
به فروغ ِ صدهزاران آفتاب ِ جاوداني‌تر کنم نفرين،
ظلمت‌آباد ِ بهشت ِ گند ِتان را، در به روي ِ من
بازنگشائيد”
― احمد شاملو / Ahmad Shamlou
