English Translation of Ahmad Shamlou The Fish

I think

my heart has never been

this much

warn and red:

I feel

in the worst moments of this deathly night

many thousand wellsprings of sun

in my heart

flows out of confidence;

I feel

in every inch and corner of this despair desert

many thousand merry forests

suddenly

sprout out of earth.

□

Oh my lost confidence, my elusive fish,

who slides through the ponds of mirror!

I am a pure lake, now! With the magic of love;

from the ponds of mirror find a way to me!

□

I think

never before

my hand

has been this much big and gay:

I feel

in my eyes

on the ruddy fount of teardrops

breathes the decline-less sun of a song;

I feel

in every vein of mine

with every beating of my heart

now

the waking chimes of a caravan sounds.

□

One night she came to me in the nude

like a water sprite

in her breasts two fish and in her hands a mirror;

her wet hair moss smelling, like moss, together weaved.

I screamed out of despair:

“_Oh my gained confidence, I will not let you leave!”
