Persian Poetry and the Meaning Behind Tasian
The emotional identity of Tasian is closely connected to its title. The supplied description identifies Tasian as a word from the Gilaki dialect. It links the title to a state associated with death and separation. It also suggests, more tentatively, a connection with birth into the mortal world.
The collection’s treatment of grief can be felt directly in this extract: «پدر جان در دل تنگت چه ابری بود / که من چندان که میگریم / هنوزش هیچ پایان نیست / چه صبری داشتی، اما / از آن دندان که برهم میفشردی / همچنان خون دلم جاریست / غمت با من / درین شبهای ابری / زنده ماند، اما / نمیدانم امیدم در دل تنگ که خواهد زیست؟»
English translation: “Dear Father, what cloud was there in your heavy heart / that however much I weep / there is still no end to it? / How patient you were, yet / from those teeth you clenched together / the blood of my heart still flows. / Your sorrow, with me / through these cloudy nights / remained alive, but / I do not know in whose heavy heart my hope will live.”
Reading the Persian beside the English version helps reveal the poem’s imagery and emotional movement. The speaker moves from a father’s hidden sorrow to grief, memory and uncertainty about hope. This personal voice gives the Tasian book much of its appeal for readers of modern Persian poetry.
