Happy New Year

Nowruz caresses cheeks of heart

My perception, filled with rebirth’s light

Breeze of awakening kisses glance

Blooming silhouettes, embraced by wine of romance

Innocent petals, unconscious by dew’s charm

Love has enchanted pace by buds’ rhyme

Coquetry of blossoms, spring of dream

My essence, infatuated by freshness’s beam

Treat my lip with droplet of lightness

Honey of fantasy, full of flow’s grace

Happy New Persian Year, dear audience

Hope efflorescence be guest of your presence.

Shabe Yalda, Winter Solstice, Yalda Night, Shabe Cheleh

Coincident with winter solstice, Yalda celebrates the rebirth of winter

The longest night of the year, it marks an occasion wherein Iranian families sit together

The elderly are adored by next generations whose glances are filled with love and admiration’s whisper

A feast full of grilled lamb and turkey, Fesenjan, nuts, watermelon and eyes sincere

Young and old wish each other bright moments; while kissing each other with joy’s tear

Many customs have got pale; but Shabe Cheleh’s presence has remained, all over ages, bold and bare.
