Where the Looks End
We have brothers behind this expanse.
Excellent brothers, they love us, they watch us, they weep.
Then in secret they tell each other:
“Ah! If this siege had been
declared…”
they do not finish their sentence:
“Don’t abandon us, don’t leave.”
Dove finiscono gli sguardi
Abbiamo dei fratelli dietro questa distesa.
Ottimi fratelli, ci amano, ci guardano, piangono.
Poi di nascosto si dicono:
“Ah! Se questo assedio fosse stato dichiarato…”
non finiscono la frase:
“Non abbandonarci, non andartene”.
POEM
آنجا که نگاه پایان می‌گیرد
برادرانی داریم
دوستمان می‌دارند
تماشایمان می‌کنند
می‌گریند
و در خلوت خود می‌گویند:
«ای کاش این محاصره اینجا...»
کلام در گلو می‌ماند
و پایان نمی‌گیرد.
«رهایمان نکنید
تنهایمان نگذارید.»
هناک، عندما
تنتهي التظرات
لنا أخوة خلف هذا المدى
أخوة طيبون، يحبوننا،
ينظرون إلينا و يبكون،
ثم يقولون في سرهم:
« ليت هذا الحصار هنا علنيّ ...»
ولا يكملون العبارة:
« لا تتركونا وحيدين... لا تتركونا» …
