این غزل سروده‌ی فرخی یزدی شاعر و روزنامه‌نگار آزادی‌خواه و دموکرات صدر مشروطیت است که حدود ۱۰۰ سال پیش می‌زیسته. انگار که وصف حال همین روزهای ماست. مبارزه برای آزادی قرن‌هاست که ادامه دارد. ایران ِما ماندنی‌ست.

🪻🪻به امید پیروزیِ نوروز🪻🪻

سوگواران را مجالِ بازدید و دید نیست
بازگرد ای عید از زندان، که ما را عید نیست
‎گفتنِ لفظِ مبارکبادِ طوطی در قفس
‎شاهدِ آیینه‌دل داند که جز تقلید نیست
‎عید نوروزی که از بیداد ضحّاکی عزاست
‎هرکه شادی می‌کند از دودهٔ جمشید نیست
‎سر به زیرِ پَر از آن دارم که دیگر این زمان
‎با من آن مرغ غزل‌خوانی که می‌نالید نیست
‎بی‌گناهی گر به زندان مُرد با حال تباه
‎ظالمِ مظلوم‌کش هم تا ابد جاوید نیست
‎هرچه عریان‌تر شدم گردید با من گرم‌تر
‎هیچ یار مهربانی بهتر از خورشید نیست
‎وای بر شهری که در آن مزد مردان درست
‎از حکومت غیر حبس و کشتن و تبعید نیست
‎صحبت عفو عمومی راست باشد یا دروغ
‎هرچه باشد از حوادث فرخی نومید نیست
 

Happy Nowruz 🌸
May this new year bring joy, peace, and beautiful moments to your life. Through these days, we hold on hopefully better days are coming…

This Saturday Viola Fusion is held in solidarity with the people of Iran.
In a time of profound loss, we gather to mourn, to remember, and to stand quietly with those grieving their loved ones.
This evening is not a celebration, but a shared space for listening and togetherness.

As the weather is cold, space is limited.
No ticket is required — all are welcome to join us.
January 24th - 7 pm

The arches that inspire The Arch — forms shaped by centuries, carried into our space today. Where every curve of earth reminds us why The Arch was born: heritage held in architecture.
