Passenger
By Bagher Ataei
Translated by Asadullah Jafari “Pezhman”
O, you are unaware of the pain of homelessness
The passenger has a heart full of endless sorrow
Hear the passenger’s stories
The passenger is always alone, away from family
The passenger is crying from pain
From the hard ways and foreign camps
The passenger has secrets to tell
If the world listens to the passenger’s words
The passenger has riddles and wisdom
The passenger is innocent and lonely
The passenger prays with both hands
The passenger has wounds on his feet
From running day and night
The passenger is not accepted and waits for years
The passenger has priceless tolerance!
