Here is a rough translation of Ferdusi, a 10th century
Iranian poet who toiled for thirty years in order to produce an Iranian epic
called Shahnameh. In this endeavour he combined legend with historical
facts, hence, creating a timeless and spaceless masterpiece. Some have
compared him with Homer and his Odyssey, which, apart from storytelling and
combining legend and history, I think is quite irrelevant as Ferdusi was also a
philosopher of power who successfully combined patriotism and humanism.
Here is one example of such a combination in which, while expressing his love
of Iran, he calls for a global revolution in order to bring about universal
peace. This calling had two reasons: his deep sense of humanism and the
realization that peace only can become sustainable when it is combined with
justice, friendship and love at a global level.
Wherever
you are, roar
like a spring erupts in the world.
like a spring erupts in the world.
All of you show kindness to each other
to guard the entire world.
Endeavour for world peace.
With good fortune, seek the world’s splendour,
create a world like a paradise,
do not use obscene words against each other.
Cry this sentence into the ears of the wind -
If Iran is not to be, then I do not want to be.
