Look! by Ahmad Shamlu
The bad year
The windy year
The year of tears
The year of doubts
The year of long days
The year of short Perseverances
A year when pride begged
Life is not a trap
Love is not a trap
Even death is not a trap
For, the lost friends are free
Free and pure
I found my love
In the bad year
Who asks me not to be disappointed
I found
My hope in disappointment
My moon at night
My love in the bad year
And I caught fire
Just when
I was turning into ash
