A Witness for Ezzat
Majid Naficy
“A Witness for Ezzat” is a collection of thirty poems written by Majid Naficy in memory of his wife Ezzat Tabaiyan executed on January 7, 1982 in Evin Prison and buried in the Khavaran Infidle Cemetery in Tehran.
The American poet, Naomi Shihab Nye, writes about the poem “A Witness for Ezzat”:
One of the most powerful poems in the world!!!! Full of love and truth. And sorrow.
You are a great poet, Majid. This has been clear since the first poem of yours I ever heard. You are truly a great witness.“
Now the first poem of the book called “Marked Treasure”:
“Eight paces from the gate,
Sixteen paces toward the wall
Which scroll speaks of this treasure?
Oh, earth!
If only I could feel your pulse
Or make a jug out of your body.
Alas! I'm not a physician
I'm not a potter
I am only an heir, deprived,
wandering in search of a marked treasure.
Oh, hand that will bury me,
This is the mark of my tomb:
Eight paces from the gate,
Sixteen paces toward the wall
In the Cemetery of the Infidels.”
