Persian Sonnet
Persian Sonnet: Candle and the Sun
Persian Sonnet: Candle and the Sun
I heard a candle talking to the sun,
asking him why he must be so bright.
How fun it is to look at you tonight!
When the day is gone, the moon is the one.
Shadows are breaking, yet figures may run,
I shall be lighting all lovers all night.
Making sweet illusion of night, delight,
and close their day when lover’s night is done.
How beautiful is it when you’re gone?
I’ll be the reason for lovers to be,
Then we live until the very break of dawn,
and they see only what their heart will see.
How magnificent is it to live on?
Although it’s just a night, it’s life for me.
