Chahar-Beyti · Four-Couplet
Gift (Version 2604)
Vahid Nazemi
Surely life, to be born, was truly as a gift
Soul’s chance, body’s inborn, was truly as a gift
Jasmine and rose, soilborne, was truly as a gift
Speaking of love, lovelorn, was truly as a gift
Living as “I”, wellborn, was truly as a gift
Smell of hot popcorn, was truly as a gift
Lovely words and forsworn, was truly as a gift
This poem sounds seaborn, was truly as a gift
