Just like a Christmas Card (with transcript for study)

 Amir-Hushang Ebtehaj AKA  A.H.Saye. A Contemporary Iranian poet who recently passed away at the age of 94, Aug 10, 2022. 
امیر هوشنگ ابتهاج ملقب به سایه. شاعر معاصر فارسی که در سن 94 سالگی در 10 آگوست 2022 چشم از جهان فرو بست. 

متن اصلی شعر هرگز:
 
خانه دلتنگِ غروبی خفه بود
مثلِ امروز که تنگ است دلم
پدرم گفت چراغ
و شب از شب پُر شد
من به خود گفتم یک روز گذشت
مادرم آه کشید؛
«زود بر خواهد گشت.»
ابری آهسته به چشمم لغزید
و سپس خوابم برد
که گمان داشت که هست این همه درد
در کمینِ دلِ آن کودکِ خُرد
آری، آن روز چو می رفت کسی
داشتم آمدنش را باور
من نمی دانستم
معنیِ «هرگز» را
تو چرا بازنگشتی دیگر؟
آه ای واژه ی شوم
خو نکرده ست دلم با تو هنوز
من پس از این همه سال
چشم دارم در راه
که بیایند عزیزانم، آه

the poem's English translation 

The home was like a suffocated sunset,
like today that I miss you,
my father said light and then suddenly the night became full of night (darkness),
I said to myself one day passed,
my mother sighed "she'll come come back soon",
a cloud slowly slipped into my eyes and then I fell sleep,
who would've thought there were such pains in the ambush of the heart of that poor child?
in those days if anyone left me, I believed they'd come back,
I did not know the meaning of "never"... why didn't you come back, though?,
oh ominous word (never),
my heart isn't used to you yet,
after all these years,
my eyes are still on the way to see my loved ones.

七夕（たなばた）

昨日は七夕だった。七夕は７月７日の夜に織姫（おりひめ）と彦星（ひこぼし）が天の川（あまのがわ）で１年に１度会えるという伝説（でんせつ）だ。日本人は中国の「乞巧奠（きこうでん）」という行事（ぎょうじ）をもとに、願い事を書いた「短冊（たんざく）」を笹（ささ）に飾（かざ）り、お祈（いの）りをするという風習（ふうしゅう）がある。本来（ほんらい）、習い事（ならいごと）の上達（じょうたつ）を祈るために行（おこな）われていたそうだ。私はそれを知らずに、大人（おとな）になってからは「物がほしい」や「旅行に行きたい」などと書いた記憶がある。今は短冊にこう書きたい、“中国語がもっと上手（うま）くなりますように！”
