A dove was nipping seeds,
A weeping willow was dancing,
A sparrow was building a nest,
The Sun was watching.
From atop the aspen trees, dawn was returning.
With swallow's merriment, daytime was beginning.
Nature's musicians freely lay on this wide-open grass,
Making music in Dastan and Nava' modes.
The meadow was decorated like butterfly wings.
The colorful butterfly, flew here and there, Spring.
I've witnessed that in every particle of matter
There's indeed someone's loving soul, someone's bright breath!
This pure and caring soul is blown into all.
This bright breeze pours out of earth's heart
And blows on all.
If eyes are to both the visible and invisible keen,
They would see the commotion within this scene.
Sun, like a mothcr, full of kindness, gleams.
Down the sky's pure mirror, light streams.
Earth's heart beats to the same tune as Time.
Soundwaves of music of growth! 0, what joyful chime!
Clouds arrive, full of giving and self-sacrifice.
Bestow their necklaces to the fields of rice!
So that grass may sing refreshed, river cries.
To turn sap into rosewater, water tries!
Soil toils to let seeds sprout!
Wind dances so buds may sing aloud!
Bird sings so that rock is not alone,
Sun strives to make amber from the stone!
From afar, grapevine steals kisses from the sun, in hundreds.
So that sheaves of grapes may grow, in hundreds!
Cedar helps the newly rising morning glory
Climb up her branches.
Blissful are those who worship sun and earth
For there's only love and kindness, no hostilities, no hatred.
Suddenly, tears well up in my eyes
I choke in my burning chest, ah!
But why then can we not be this way?
Come to our senses and wish to be humans.

بخواهیم که انسان باشیم
دانه می چید کبوتر
به سرافشانی بید
لانه می ساخت پرستو
به تماشا خورشید
صبح از برج سپیدارن می آمد باز
روز با شادی گنجشکان می شد آغاز
نغمه سازان سراپرده ی دستان و نوا
روی این سبزه ی گسترده سراپرده رها
دشت همچون پر پروانه پر از نقش و نگار
پر زنان هر سو پروانه ی رنگین بهار
هست و من یافته ام در همه ذرات بسی
روح شیدای کسی، نور و نسیم نفسی
می دمد در همه این روح نوازشگر پاک
می وزد بر همه این نور و نسیم از دل خاک
چشم اگر هست به پیدا و به ناپیدا باز
نیک بیند که چه غوغاست در این چشم انداز
مهر چون مادر می تابد سرشار از مهر
نور می بارد از آیینه پاک سپهر
می تپد گرم هم آواز زمان قلب زمین
موج موسیقی رویش چه خوش افکنده طنین
ابر می آید سرتاپا ایثار و نثار
سینه ریزش را می بخشد بر شالیزار
رود می گرید تا سبزه بخندد شاداب
آب می خواهد جاری کند از چوب، گلاب
خاک می کوشد تا دانه نماید پرواز
باد می رقصد تا غنچه بخواند آواز
مرغ می خواند تا سنگ نباشد دلتنگ
مهر می خواهد تا لعل بسازد از سنگ
تاک صد بوسه زخورشید رباید از دود
تا که صد خوشه چو خورشید برآرد انگور
سرو نیلوفر نشکفته ی نو خاسته را
می دهد یاری کز شاخه بیاید بالا
سر خوشانند
ستایش گر خورشید و زمین
همه مهر است و محبت
نه جدال است و نه کین
اشک می جوشد
در چشمه ی چشمم ناگاه
بغض می پیچد در سینه ی سوزانم آه
پس چرا ما نتوانیم که این سان باشیم؟
به خود آییم و بخواهیم که انسان باشیم!
