Another Iranian nationial treasure
by ramintork on Tue Mar 18, 2008 06:25 PM CDTIf we needed to refer to a living Encylopedia of Iranian goodness we would look to her to be our source
Other than her beautiful poetry she will be remembered for standing side by side of other Iran Dokhts.

by sarekar (not verified) on Sat Mar 15, 2008 07:59 AM CDTشنیــدم باز هم گوهر فشــاندی
که روشنـــفکر را بزغاله خواندی
ولی ایشــان ز خویشـانت نبـودند
در این خط جمله را بیــجا نشـاندی
سخـن گفـتــی ز عدل و داد و آنرا
به نان و آب مجــانی کشــاندی
از این نَقلت که همچون نٌقل تر بود
هیاهــو شد عجب توتــــی تکانــدی
سخن هایت ز حکمت دفــتری بود
چه کفتر ها از این دفتر پراندی
ولیــکن پول نفـت و سفره خلــــق
ز یادت رفت و زان پس لال ماندی
سخن از آسمان و ریسمان بود
دریـــغا حرفـی از جنـــگل نراندی
چو از بزغاله کردی یاد ای کاش
سلامـی هم به میــمون میرساندی
سیمین بهبهانی
