SOHRAB SEPEHRI- Iranain poet and painter

“If you are looking for me
I am beyond nowhere.” – Sohrab Sepehri

POEM
Sohrab Sepehri (Persian: سهراب سپهری‎‎) (October 7, 1928 – April 21, 1980)

The Address
"Where is the friend's house?," the rider asked in the twilight.
Heaven paused;
The passerby bestowed the flood of light on his lips to darkness of sands
And pointed to a poplar and said:

"Near the tree,
Is a garden-line greener than God's dream
Where love is bluer than the feathers of honesty.
Walk to the end of the lane which emerges from behind puberty,
Then turn towards the flower of solitude;
Two steps to the flower,
Stay by the eternal mythological fountain of earth
where a transparent fear will visit you.
In the flowing intimacy of the space you will hear a rustling sound:
You will see a child
Who has ascended a tall plane tree to pick up chicks from the nest of light.
Ask him:
Where is the friend's house?
Translated to English by Farhad Arbab
