Poetry

Translation of Poems from Farsi into English

Although in most western societies poetry is no longer a part of people's every day lives, in Iranian culture this is still the case. In fact, poetry is and has been inseparable from the lives of most Iranian people. The poems translated here are just a few of a sea of profound poetry created by the masters of words from Iran.

Of course, the translation of poetic masterpieces as these would be a tremendous task; a task which is beyond the ability of a single individual and which ideally should be done by a group of scholars in the field so what you read here is only a personal endeavour.
