Literature Text

کاش که بودم شاعری / آن سبب غش دختری
و هرچه سخن کنم / گوش بده هر رهبری

Kāsh keh budam shā'eri / ān sebab-e ghash-e dokhtari
va harcheh sokhan konam / gush bedeh har rahbari

Oh that I were a poet
The cause of young women swooning
And whatever I speak
Every leader would give ear
I am so pleased with this poem.  It went through a few iterations, and I am still not happy with the English translation, but I wrote the whole thing by myself without any help from my Persian-speaking friends and it needed no corrections!

Yay!
