Happy Nowruz to all. Here are the first few lines of a well-known spring poem by Fereydoon Moshiri (d. 2000):

باز کن پنجره ها را که نسیم

روز میلاد اقاقی ها را

جشن می گیرد

و بهار

روی هر شاخه کنار هر برگ

شمع روشن کرده است

"Open the windows, for the breeze

is celebrating the birthday

of the acacias;

And spring,

on every branch, beside every leaf,

has lit a candle."
