The Birthnight

The Birthnight

Let's rejoice friends; it is Night of Birth

Rebirth of the Sun, to the face of Earth.

It is longest night, all around the year

That has good news, for you to hear:

"Herald to the world, the light is reborn,

Long domain of night, has again been torn.

Starts tomorrow, until New Day

Sunshine's expanding, its new sway".

At New Year's Day, they will equal

Ninety days let pass, in gradual.

From that time on, days expand in size

That is the reason, flowers arise.

If you presume, this fact an error;

You need to consult, Persian calendar.

This blessed Night's, heralding that Day

That's why it's esteemed, in a certain way.

For the longest time, we are vigilant

As much as we can, we are jubilant.
