Poem
Bijan Elahi
Tiger
You, imprisoned by this simile!Jump! Boy! Rip!
Bars, my dear, are verses.
They soar when you flee.
For an instant, you turn pale
and sober, in papery air.

زندانی این تشبیه !
بپر ، پسر ، بدر !
میلهها ، نازنین ، ابیاتند ،
میپرند اگر بپری ،
یک آن که سفید میشوی ، هشیار ،
در هوای کاغذوار .
بپر ، پسر ، بدر !
میلهها ، نازنین ، ابیاتند ،
میپرند اگر بپری ،
یک آن که سفید میشوی ، هشیار ،
