1.

In an interview

After many years suddenly met one

The life of both of us trembled like a najm ..

There was an entire night in front

But half nazm remained in one corner

And half a nazm was sitting in a corner

Then in the morning

We met like torn pieces of paper

I took his hand in my hand

He put my arm in his arm

And we both laughed like a censor

And placing the paper on a cold table

He switched to all the najm

2.

An event

Your memories

Many days passed

I don't know if I won.

Just once an event happened

It was a deep night of thoughts

And was so shocked

Shake that leaf, too

So the ears of the years shone.

3.

Empty space

There were only two princely states

One had expelled me and him

And the other was abandoned by both of us.

Under the naked sky

How long i

The body was soaking in the rain,

How long is that

The body of the body was mistaken.

4.

Trust

A rumor big black

Like a bat came into my room

Collided with walls

And finding cracks, clues and clues

Black eyes of the eyes

I've covered my hands

And I love that I have put cotton in my ears.
