Good
He rises on two feet
bowed to the waist
before a picture.
He sits humbled on the ground
kisses the dust at the sound of the great picture's name
and cries of hail and hail are flung from his mouth
across the whole room.
Without any why his days have become night
his countless nights have become day
picture after picture he has bowed
he has knelt
he has kissed the dust,
the "good" citizen at whose order I was eliminated
I:
who was always "bad"....
am "bad"...
will be "bad"...

Original Persian
خوب
Maani
بر می خیزد روی دو پا
تا کمر خم شده
پیش یک عکس.
می نشیند خاکسار روی زمین
خاک را می بوسد با صدای نام عکس بزرگ
و صدای درود و درود از دهانش پرتاب می گردد
در تمام اتاق.
بی هیچ چرایی روزهایش شده شب
شب های بی شمارش، شده روز
عکس به عکس خم شده است
زانو زده است
خاک را بوسیده است
شهروند "خوبی" که به دستور او حذف شدم
من:
که همیشه " بد" بودم....
"بد" هستم...
"بد" خواهم بود...
