Stretch Thy Hands is a poem written by Tabassum Tahmina Shagufta Hussein and shared with The Ugly Writers under the theme for the month of August.
Stretch Thy Hands
Those who say about thee with
words of despair,
Merely weave walls of words,
You are not invisible , Oh Beloved.
Talk to me for a while and bless my
heart at times,
With your bliss.
Sit with me, with the gentle breeze,
I can listen to you in the sound of
waves,
I see you in the blazing sun,
From the blade of the grass to the
twinkling stars.
You make the breath of life,
Oh eternal sweet,
I am relieved of the fatigue of the
day.
Stretch Thy hands,
Put it on mine,
Paint the images of life,
With the brush of beauty.
In this beautiful dawn,
It was you who symbolised,
The living message of this Universe.
My Beloved

دستان خود را کششی بده
From English to Persian Translation: Kian Zahtabian
آنهایی که درباره ی تو با کلمات ناامیدانه سخن میگویند
تنها دیواری سست از تار و پود بنا میکنند،
تو نادیدنی نیستی، ای محبوب من.
با من کمی سخن بگو
وهر چند یکبار قلبم را قرین رحمت خود کن.
و من میتوانم به تو در میان صدای امواج گوش بسپارم.
من تورا میبینم در میان خورشید سوزان
و میبینم تورا از خنجر چمن تا ستاره های چشمک زن تو تنفس حیات را میدمی،
ای شیرینِ جانِ ابدی،
من از خستگی روزانه رها میشوم،
دستان خود را کششی بده.
و بر دستان من قرار بده،
نقاشی کن تصاویر زندگی را،
با قلم موی زیبای.
در این سپیده دم زیبا،
تو کسی بودی که معنا بخشیدی،
به پیام جاندار عالم.
ای محبوب من
