پیش ساز تو من از سحر سخن دم نزنم
که زبانی چو بیان تو ندارد سخنم
ره مگردان و نگه دار همین پرده ی راست
تا من از راز سپهرت گرهی باز کنم
صبر کن ای دل غمدیده که چون پیر حزین
عاقبت مژده ی نصرت رسد از پیرهنم
چه غریبانه تو با یاد وطن می نالی
من چه گویم که غریب است دلم در وطنم
همه مرغان هم آواز پراکنده شدند
آه از این باد بلاخیز که زد در چمنم
شعر من با مدد ساز تو آوازی داشت
کی بود باز که شوری به چمن در فکنم
نی جدا زان لب و دندان جه نوایی دارد؟
من ز بی همنفسی ناله به دل می شکنم
بی تو آری غزل «سایه» ندارد «لطفی»
باز راهی بزن ای دوست که آهی بزنم
هوشنگ ابتهاج (سایه)

Amir Hushang Ebtehaj (Persian: هوشنگ ابتهاج‎, with the pen name of H. E. Sayeh (Persian: ه. ا. سایه‎, lit. Shade) is an Iranian poet of the 20th century, whose life and work spans many of Iran's political, cultural and literary upheavals. Ebtehaj was born February 25, 1928 in Rasht, Iran, and had his primary schooling there before moving to Tehran. His first book of poetry, with an introduction by eminent poet Mehdi Hamidi Shirazi, was published when he was 19 years old. Sayeh published his first collection of poetry while he was still a high school student in the northern province of Gilan, Iran. His total output, however, remains small because of his preoccupation with high craftsmanship and exact phraseology. In the political climate of the 1940s, Sayeh was an ardent advocate of the poetry of social commitment. His own early poetry reveals his concern with purposive literature.
