In Memory Of Hengameh Poem by Amir Khosro Alai

In Memory Of Hengameh

Rating: 5.0


Hengameh, my beloved was so kind,
To every being, less to the humankind!

She loved all the animals and the birds,
Adoring flowers, trees and the herds,

Few understood her sublime nature,
Fewer could appreciate her unique jester,

She was sensitive, soft, and loving,
Qualities not suited for this living,

Humankind is savage and cruel by birth,
How was she to find solace on earth?

Leaving us with memories, I must say,
She had glories by many to stay,

In every art and in every deed,
I saw no match in life indeed,

That, which she did not regain in the past,
She has found now with the angels at last.
