1889-1939
آن زمان که بنهادم سر به پای آزادی
دست خود ز جان شستم از برای آزادی
تا مگر به دست آرم دامن وصالش را
میدوم به پای سر در قفای آزادی
با عوامل تکفیر صنف ارتجاعی باز
حمله میکند دایم بر بنای آزادی
دست خود ز جان شستم از برای آزادی
تا مگر به دست آرم دامن وصالش را
میدوم به پای سر در قفای آزادی
با عوامل تکفیر صنف ارتجاعی باز
حمله میکند دایم بر بنای آزادی
MOHAMAD FAROKHI YAZDI,Tajolshoara
also:MIRZA MOHAMAD SEMSARZADEH YAZDI,FAROKHI YAZDI
b.1266,YAZD/1889
KILLED DURING REZA SHAH,24 MEHR 1318/OCT 16,1939
FAROKHI IS KNOWN FOR BEING ARRESTED BY SOMEBODY AS GOVERNOR OF YAZD,AND HIS LIPS BEING SEWN IN PRISON FOR A POEM HE WROTE AGINST ESTABLISHMENT.
Farokhi yazdi ,as a journalist published TUFAN in 1300/1921 in Tehran,but its publication was stopped 15 times in 7 years.He published Mirror of Thoughts afterward and was exiled to Kerman,in southeast,Iran
ON HIS RETURN,FAROKHI WROTE AGAIST REZA SHAH AND THEN ATTENDED CELEBRATION FOR OCTOBER REVOLUTION IN USSR.
IN 1307/1928 FAROKHI YAZDI WAS ELECTED FOR CONGRESS,HE WAS BEATEN THERE FOR EXPRESSING HIS ideas and THOUGHTS AGAINST EVER PRESENT CONSERVATIVES AND ESCAPED TO MOSCOW IN 1309/1930.BUT POOR POET HAD NO PLACE IN THERE EITHER ,BECAUSE HE WAS CRITICIZING
"THE NEW ORDER "AS WELL.AND THERE IS NO POWER IN HISTORY WHO COULD TOLERATE THIS KIND OF BEHAVIOR,ESPECIALLY FROM A POET IN EXILE.AND THIS IS A GOOD POINT FOR COMPARISON BETWEEN FAROKHI AND LAHUTI,AS WELL AS THE OTHER POETS OF THE WORLD WHO WERE PARTYING WITH THE NEW PARTY!
FAROKHI WAS KICKED OUT WHILE KICKING IRON CURTAIN.
FAROKHI WAS OUT OF IRAN
FAROKHI WAS OUT OF USSR
FAROKHI WENT TO GERMANY AND PUBLISHED HIS NEW PAPER: FIRE.
THEN HE WAS INVITED BY GOVERNMENT OF IRAN TO RETURN HOME.
YOU KNOW HOW FOOL THE POETS ARE.
HE ACCEPTED THE INVITATION OF THE GREAT POET at HOME.BECAUSE HE WAS
A GREAT POET HIMSELF.
ON HIS ARRIVAL TO IRAN IN 1312/1933 HE WAS ARRESTED AGAIN.
AGAIN HE WAS ARRESTED IN 1316/1937 FOR INSULTING DA KING AND WAS KILLED BY A QUAKER OF REZA SHAH,NAMED AHMADI,THROUGH INJECTION OF AIR IN HIS blood VESSELS.AND THIS WAS HIS PRIZE FOR PATRIOTISM AND RESISTANCE,GIVEN TO HIM IN 24 MEHR 1318/OCTOBER 16,1939.
I DO NOT FEEL WELL WHEN I AM WRITING THESE LINES IN ENGLISH ABOUT FAROKHI ,BUT KILLING OF POETS AND INTELLECTUALS IN MY COUNTRY,IS NO SECRET TO FEEL BAD ABOUT WRITING IT.
AND FAROKHI WAS ANOTHER ONE OF THESE VICTIMS IN OUR HISTORY.
His tomb whereabout is unknown
ALAS THERE IS NO WAY FOR BREATHS
THERE IS NO WAY FOR BREATHS OF A SOUL
IT IS THE CITY OF HOLLERS AND GROANS
ALAS CRIES , BUT THERE IS NO ONE COMING TO RESCUE.
