روح روز تابستانی و
نفسِ گل سرخی،
تابستان اما سپری شده است و
موسم گل‌ به آخر رسیده است

کجا رفته‌اند؟
که می‌داند، که می‌داند.

خون قلب منی و
جان آرامشی.
قلب من امّا سرد است و
جانم به سیاهی در نشسته است.

کجایی تو ای یار؟
که می‌داند، که می‌داند.

امید سالیان منی و
آفتاب برف‌های زمستانم.
سال‌ها اما
زیر آسمانی ابر اندود به پایان رسیده است.

کجا یکدیگر را باز خواهیم یافت؟
که می‌داند، که می‌داند


Paul Laurence Dunbar

AZZA BONDOK
People are not an interruption of our business. People are our business.
A man's worst difficulties begin when he is able to do as he likes.
It is hard to look up to a leader who keeps his ear to the ground.
The most wasted day of all is that in which we have not laughed.
The more intelligent a man is, the more originality he discovers in men. Ordinary people see no diff...
The intelligence is proved not by ease of learning, but by understanding what we learn.
Communication is something so simple and difficult that we can never put it in simple words.
Like threads of silver seen through crystal beads
Let love through good deeds show.
How much more grievous are the consequences of anger than the causes of it.
In everyone's heart stirs a great homesickness.
That is the supreme value of history. The study of it is the best guarantee against repeating it.
Our wisdom comes usually from our experience, and our experience comes largely from our experience.
