A Poem for the Executed: “پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز” “They Did not Hang My Son Today”
January 28, 2010پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز
پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز
اما کشتند فرزند دیگر مادری دلسوز
گویند نوزده بیش نداشت پسرجوان
در بامدادان
(همیشه درسحرگاهان)
به پای دار بردندش دژخیمان
بر گردنش کردند طناب و ریسمان
پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز
اما کشتند فرزند یک مادر دلسوز
چه چیزکرد مرد جوان راوادار به اعتراف کردن؟
لرزش تن خواهر آبستن؟
یا نگاه پر التماس پدربیمار: “لطفاً!”؟
پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز
اما کشتند فرزند دیگر مادری دلسوز
به خیابان رفته بود
مرگشان فریاد آیا کرده بود؟
یا با اسپری سبز پایان روزگارشان
بر دیوار هجی کرده بود؟
پسر من نبود که به دار کشیدند امروز
اما کشتند فرزند دیگر مادری دلسوز
چه ساده انگارانه
بُوَد تلاش برای تسلی غم مادرانه
تا پیغام دهی، پسرت قهرمان مُرد
به نفس آخر، شیشه عمر دیو را کرد خُرد

They Did Not Hang My Son Today

They did not hang my son today
But they killed hers.
He was nineteen, they say.
At dawn
(Always at dawn)
They took him and
Put a noose around his neck.
They did not hang my son today
But they killed hers.
What does it take
To force a young man to confess?
A pregnant sister’s shivers,
A sick father’s
Pleas?
They did not hang my son today
But they killed hers.
He had taken to the streets
Did he yell out their death?
Did he spell their end on walls
With green colored spray?
They did not hang my son today
But they killed hers
How foolish it would be to try
To comfort her!
To tell her that he is a hero
That this boy, her son,
With his last innocent breath,
Sealed Evil’s certain death.

an eighteen years old youngster does not know enough about himself.it is a huge sin to kill him for even his
think.he should have been trained and send to colledge to learn what is going on in this world.
i hate killing humans.god has given us life and he can take it.no one else.
they ,who have done such an act ,are going to hell.if any body believes in god and another world and believe in holy-books,does not do such crimes.the prophet was fighting with those who would not believe in god.
we are all moslem brothers.why you kill your brother only to imitate some others.your are full.because it will make people crazy and all come to streets.
you prepared your coffin sooner.we all will take all of you in the court.the god punishes all who done such a crime.
you will never be forgotten.they will find you .wait to see it.
