Bilingual Poetry Archive

آرشیو شعر دوزبانه

A place to translate classic and modern Persian poems and record readings of them aloud.

Poems that deserve two languages

A poem loses something in translation, and the best way to feel it is to read the Persian and the English together. The archive would keep both, with notes on difficult words, and each poem could carry an audio reading in Persian.

How it could work

Members pick a poem, post a translation for others to comment on, and a reader records it. Starting points are the poets on the Poetry tab: Hafez, Rumi, Saadi, Forough Farrokhzad and more.
