I said I won't Cry (English)
That is my first attempt at Farsi poetry.
But for those who may understand Farsi as little as I do, here is the approximate English translation:
On this eventful day, July 8th, 2023
Deep inside, my gaze recognized your desolation, yearning, and thirst.
A sensation that continues to incinerate my spirit.
Because neither the Kashmiri language found its way to you nor did English.
Now, I scribe these words in Farsi, knowing you comprehend them all.
How do we satiate this parched longing?
And mend the fissures on our soul
That menaces the verdant arboreal existence
intended to cast life's comforting shadow?
The emotions and thoughts are unmerciful and arid
and eroding from the core.
My pact with myself to celebrate without shedding tears has dissipated.
Now, tears are the signature of the storm within.
Unconsciously hopeful, they'll sustain my thoughts.
And keep my inner sanctuary alive.
