Friendship

    Friendship
    It’s been long that I ponder
    That ‘friendship’ is also a flower
    Like a ‘Moss Rose’ or a ‘Nuphar’
    Its stem brittle and slender
    Is heartless, he who knowingly
    Hurts the life of this vine so tender

    In the land of mind for you and I
    A gesture or word, first perceived
    Is right when its seed is sown
    ‘Love’ is the water, sun and the light wind
    For leaves and fruits that would be grown

    If it yields, the face of life looks most charming
    This sweet soul within you resolving
    No need for no one, no thing
    To become all you are longing

    Life, is the warmth of hearts bond together
    If there are no friends, doors are fastened
    If in your mind, this flower is not yet born
    If its reviving scent of love, not yet reached your soul

    Should seed the dry land, anew
    Bring water and sun and light wind, with heart
    Shall sacrifice, cherish and love

    With a look that lightens souls
    With a greeting that brightens smiles
    Let’s give our hands together and shake with love
    Tend the cup of sympathy from our heart
    and sing aloud
    Your soul is blessed!
    You who bring joy to ones eyes
    The garden of your heart be fresh, perfumed and flowered

    Fereydoon Moshiri(1926-2000)
    Translation from Persian by Nasrin Yavari
