Ayat Alghermezi

شعر از دوست عزیزم سید مهدی شفیعی که سید سجاد موسوی زحمت کشیده است و رباعیهایی که به آیات القرمزی تقدیم شده را به انگلیسی برگردانده است. حاصل تلاش ایشان را همینجا بخوانید:              Poems For Ayat Al-Ghermezi by Mohammad Mahdi Shafiei  To my sister, Ayat  Never can the autumn understand this garden  Nor ever a hundred endless forests can  Alas! Alas! Like the crying of the ocean  Your smile can never the world understand  From your lips is apparent the spring's bitter  And from the gory words you do utter  Drop by drop jihad verses 1 they are, look  Drizzling they are from your gash on my book  Plotted together, the Well 2 they took away  This undefended Joseph they took away  At night, asleep the tiger did stay                  A pack of wolves, the moon they took away 3 Unallowed an elegy in its book it has written  Carries on its shoulder a body like a burden  Alive you are, in me is flowing the voice of you  Lie, it is but a lie that history is telling anew  [1] "Verses" is the equivalent of the word "ayat" in Arabic which is the plural form of ayah—a verse in the Quran. Jihad verses refer to those verses in the Quran which encourage Muslims to fight/kill  for the sake of Allah [2] Refers to the well into which Joseph was thrown [3] According to legend, when the moon is full, the tigers would go to the highest point of where they live; Jumping to grab the moon, they fall and die. The tiger here, as the poet himself says, symbolizes a lover
