Farhad Abedini
Born in Ghouh-chin, Abhar, April 13, 1942
Farhad Abedini started poetry with classic ode. After years of studying Nima Yushij, he turned to Nimaic verse and ended into blank verse.
His main theme is nature, its beauties and movement towards light, so that in his darkest poems one can trace hope and a goal in perspective.
Farhad sings of plastic flower instead of natural flower that have defaced the earth and the tragic accident of the dead machine with the mere.
Abedini observes a sort of inner harmony in his poems and his love of nature makes him hate modern technology of the machine age.
He held leading positions at the Contemporary Poetry
Society of Iran.

| Lost |
Sir,
I'm lost, Sir,
haven't you seen me?
No.....
I was wearing a stripped dress
with a silk jacket
and a hat which I never put down.
I had a compass
which I carried with me wherever I went.
So far I haven't been lost,
accidentally today
I put down my hat
and forgot my compass.
Now
I can see colorful hats around me
and many paths in front of me.
I have been lost, Sir.
Haven't you seen me? |
