inola gurgulia - “when I die, my dear, become a tombstone covering my grave”
Forough Farrokhzad - To my sister
Sister, rise up after your freedom, why are you quiet? rise up because henceforth you have to imbibe the blood of tyrannical men.
Seek your rights, Sister, from those who keep you weak, from those whose myriad tricks and schemes keep you seated in a corner of the house.
How long will you be the object of pleasure In the harem of men’s lust? how long will you bow your proud head at his feet like a benighted servant?
How long for the sake of a morsel of bread, will you keep becoming an aged haji’s temporary wife, seeing second and third rival wives. oppression and cruelty, my sister, for how long?
This angry moan of yours must surely become a clamorous scream. you must tear apart this heavy bond so that your life might be free.
Rise up and uproot the roots of oppression. give comfort to your bleeding heart. for the sake of your freedom, strive to change the law, rise up.
