For thousands of years, with nature I did dwell

هزاران سال با فطرت نشستم
1
هزاران سال با فطرت نشستم
به او پیوستم و از خود گسستم

For thousands of years, with nature I did dwell —

I severed ties with myself, in her embrace I fell.

2
ولیکن سر گذشتم این دو حرفست
تراشیدم، پرستیدم، شکستم

Yet my story boils down to these two lines —

I carved idols, worshipped, then broke their confines.
