اینجا
خاورمیانه است
ما با زبان تاریخ حرف می زنیم
خواب های تاریخی می بینیم
و بعد
با دشنه های تاریخی
سرهای همدیگر را می بُریم
از شام تا حجاز
از حجاز تا بغداد
از بغداد تا قسطنطنیه
از قسطنطنیه تا اصفهان
از اصفهان تا بلخ
بر سرزمین های ما
مرده ها حکومت می کنند
اینجا
خاورمیانه است
و این لکنته که از میان خون ما می گذرد
تاریخ است
Here
Middle East
We talk with the language of history
See historical dreams/have historical sleeps
and then
with historical stickers
tear off each others heads
From Sham to Hejazi
From Hejazi to Baghdad
From Baghdad to Constantinople
From Constantinople to Isfahan
From Isfahan to Balkh
On our lands
deads are the government/rullers / extinction is the government
Here
middle east
