A free translation of a Farsi poem by Freidoun Moshiri
I passed down that street
In a moonlight night again
looking for you
I became that crazy lover again
remembering old memories
we passed down the street together one night
sat down by the river
I was looking at your dark mysterious eyes
a clear sky...a quiet time
The moon was shining in the water
The trees bending over to touch the moon
Night, stone and floweres
were listening to the night bird
You told me
Stay away from this love
Look at this water
reflecting a passing love
You are in love with one look today
and with another one tomorrow
travel away and you will forget everything
But I dont know how to stay away from love from you
Nightbird flew away you cried and the moon laughed at your love
I never heard from you then
That night disappeared in the darkness and night after night
You never passed down the street
and you never knew how I walked there without you
