"A dream that breaks into the eye and the eye
that pins into a point and the point that lingers in confusion
in a corner of the skull
that keeps rolling and rolling and rolling."

From "Insomnia," by Mohammad Mokhtari,

…
خوابی که می‌شِکَند در چشم و چشم که میخ می‌شود در نقطه‌ای
و نقطه
که می‌ماند مَنگ در گوشه‌ای از کاسه سَر که همچنان غلت می‌خورد 
غلت می‌خورد 
غلت می‌خورد
