بخت و اقبالِ کیانِ ارغوان در حیطهِ بتخانه نیست

The Arghavanian fortune is not found within the idol house

Patterns and arrangements, stars and icons,
constancy to reverberate and ring, the roles, characters, and positions,
what an outfit, corps and leagues; to be pondered, mused and mulled,
consistently, to be elevated and exalted, not a chip and morsel to sprawl.

Chaos and disorder, illusions, chimeras, figments and misapprehensions,
enunciate and articulate, misconceptions, delusions, and misrepresentations,
do not convolute or convolve, but only to stretch intervals not to be despoiled and robbed,
raze and wreck, desolate and devastate, the sunken, cadaverous beliefs and thoughts.

Mirages, seditious and subversive yearnings and cravings, requests and demands,
the nigher and nearer, the dearer and keener, the tempest and typhoon louder,
is it to hamper and hinder, or not to defer and dawdle, disembark and debark the liner,
the Noah’s ark only to lodge and sojourn, crops and harvests, the devoted souls,
not to ditch and discard, the convinced, converted, and committed blossoms to sprawl.

Dreams and desires, devour and demolish, keep the wonders to flourish,
the sky and heavens, recede and flee, fades and ebbs keep making their own tracks,
then, coarse and grainy, surfaces and facades, porticos and impressions
to invoke courtesies, expressions, demanding, to be encountered and flattened.

The hasty, swift, and rapid amendments and alterations,
adjustments and conversions, jolts and bumps, juggles and bounces,
the rush by thunders, the yells and barks, the roars and booms,
cover the ears, shield and guard the eyes, remnants are allowed to be passerby.

Cozy and comfy openings of moments, ceding distance the daring touch,
habitual, persistent episodes, imposing and trespassing incidents and chapters,
declinations and degenerations, the adornment or silence of thoughts to be questioned,
the obdurate creeds and dogmas, the vague and blurred stigmas and shames,
duality and dyad derive the scope and range, but not to sink, to lapse and converge.

Is it the slow, sneaking modes and means,
the shadow veiling of pieties, reverences the seal to conceal,
or, the shell, husk, and skin, to be shattered and wrecked,
then, the hearings and judgments,
when the breeze brings about, susurrating sounds, reverberations and clatters.

Piety and piousness, shall not, perish and petrify, if,
the essence and soul, substance and lifespan, the breath and verve,
is aligned and allied, joined and connected, to the orbit, of unanimity and oneness,
the blood of zeal and fervor, is incubated and hatched,
the alchemy of, sympathy, humanity and benevolence,
is gelled, arranged and decided, to simmer and seethe, rumble and wrangle.

Acuteness, perspicacity, depth and intricacy, and wisdom and profoundness,
dwindle and decline, cringe and wince, and grimace and scowl,
while, lighthouses, beacons, and pharoses, melt and thaw the scared and lonely hearts,
the moving glimmer and ray, is adorned and gilded, to mend suspending cores, all applied.

Stanza Analysis

Comprehensive Analysis & Commentary

Themes & Interpretations

The Inhabited Constellation

The constellation is not observed spectacle but inhabited pattern—”outfit, corps and leagues” constituted through participation. Stars become roles, characters, and positions we occupy.

The Discriminating Ark

Noah’s ark as selection mechanism: lodging “the devoted souls,” preserving “the convinced, converted, and committed blossoms.” Not mere refuge but active curation of what deserves to persist.

Productive Duality

“Duality and dyad derive the scope and range, but not to sink, to lapse and converge.” Distinction creates meaning; false unity destroys it. The orbit maintains relationship without absorption.

The Thawing Lighthouse

“Lighthouses, beacons, and pharoses, melt and thaw the scared and lonely hearts.” Light not as navigation but as therapy—warming what has frozen, adorned and gilded, all applied.
