Raqs

"Dance so that all of me dances with you
See, by experience, who gets tired first, I or you
You and I are a boat just facing a storm, dance
Imagine I am drowning and the ocean is you
What happening sweeter than this?

For me, who has no escape, except for you
You'll become blue and calm tomorrow
And the island is so beautiful, and tomorrow you
You being moored besides the quay and I
Ask you what you did, what did you do
That I, who didn't dance to the song of destiny
How danced without withholding with you, only you."

- Amineh Daryanavard (translated by Niloofar)
