The Sun Rises
Mahsa Vahdat, Forough Farrokhzad
See how sorrow melts drop by drop
In my eyes
How my mutinous shadow
becomes prey to the sun
See
how my whole existence is in ruins
An amber set fire to my being
I am lifted to heights
I am trapped
See
how my entire horizon
fills with shooting stars
You came from afar
from the land of perfume and light
You set me on a stellar path
You take me beyond stars
Now that we are treading on heights
Wash me with waves of wine
Wrap me in the velvet of your kiss
Want me in lasting nights
Leave me no more
Separate me not from these stars
See
how you shine and the Sun rises
