To My Sister

Sister, rise up after your freedom,

why are you quiet?

rise up because henceforth

you have to imbibe the blood of tyrannical men.

Seek your rights, Sister,

from those who keep you weak,

from those whose myriad tricks and schemes

keep you seated in a corner of the house.

Forough Farrokhzad

Call to Arms

Only you, O Iranian woman, have remained

In bonds of wretchedness, misfortune, and cruelty;

If you want these bonds broken,

grasp the skirt of obstinacy

Do not relent because of pleasing promises,

never submit to tyranny;

become a flood of anger, hate and pain,

excise the heavy stone of cruelty.

Forough Farrokhzad

The Sin

I sinned a sin full of pleasure,

In an embrace which was warm and fiery.

I sinned surrounded by arms

that were hot and avenging and iron.

In that dark and silent seclusion

I looked into his secret-full eyes.

my heart impatiently shook in my breast

In response to the request of his needful eyes.

Forough Farrokhzad

The Wedding Band

The girl smiled and said: What

is the secret of this gold ring,

the secret of this ring that so tightly

embraces my finger,

the secret of this band

that sparkles and shines so?

the man was startled and said:

it's the ring of good fortune, the ring of life.

Forough Farrokhzad

The Captive

want you, yet I know that never

can I embrace you to my heart's content.

you are that clear and bright sky.

I, in this corner of the cage, am a captive bird.

from behind the cold and dark bars

directing toward you my rueful look of astonishment,

I am thinking that a hand might come

and I might suddenly spread my wings in your direction.

Forough Farrokhzad
