With the moon talk but, did you
See behind your sad face
Your youth was dead.
Did you see how you forget 
The name of the flowers.
With moon talk but, the
Sadness does not leave you.
Did you see you came here to cry.
With the moon talk , now 
Turning around your face. the
Death that loves to call you , by
Your first name” Hormooz”.
Poet, in the moon eyes
Did you see fifty spring 
Passed by you sadly?
