Cool standing tree. By Jatinder Aulakh. In Persian by Farzaneh Dorri

درخت ساکت. سروده شاعر هندی جاتیندر آولاخ. ترجمه فرزانه دُرّی

این دنیا یک بازار است
بازاری بسیار شلوغ
جمعیت افراد پر از هیاهو و سروصدا
می آیند
و می روند.

در گوشه ای از این شلوغی پرهیاهو
درختی ساکت برجا ایستاده است
بی هیچ تاب خوردنی حتی
آرام و بی صدا
می سراید او
آیات روح را.
