عاشق یا فارغ؟

        In or Out of Love?

        By Majid Naficy

Am I in love
Or done with it?
The soul says: in love
The body says: done.

The body is tired
Of blindness, eczema, and backpain
Of old age, solitude, and fear of death.

The soul is done with self
And goes with the cane of the body
To visit its beloved.
