SHAHINAM

شاهینم

من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم
من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم
هم بددهن و لاتم هم با ادب و مومن
همجنسگرا تا ته زنباره و بی‌دینم
من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم

هم قاتل و هم دزدم هم فاسد و عیاشم
هم قاطی و جوگیرم هم بزدل و کلاشم
هم خار به چشمان یک عده قرمساقم
هم عاشق و روشنفکر هم سطحی و فحاشم
من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم

هم‌ ضدزن و لمپن هم کول و فمینیستم
هم در پی سرمایه هم شر و آنارشیستم
هم در پی تحریک اذهان عمومی‌ام
هم دشمن مردم هم عامی و پوپولیستم
من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم

"در شهر یکی کس را هوشیار نمی‌بینم"
هم اهل دیالوگ هم گه توطئه می‌چینم
موساد و ام آی سیکس و ساماوا سی‌ آی ای
با عینک گاندی و در فرمت پوتینم
من جمع نقیضینم البته که شاهینم

SHAHINAM (I am Shahin)

I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin
I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin
I’m foulmouthed and rowdy; as well as polite and believer
I’m homosexual to the end; as well as womanizer and non-believer
I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin

I’m a murderer as well as a thief; corrupt as well as voluptuary
I’m insane and get carried away; as well as a coward and a crook
I’m also a thorn in the eyes of a bunch of pimps
I’m a lover and intellectual; as well as shallow and vituperative
I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin

I’m anti-woman and lumpen; as well as cool and feminist
I’m seeking wealth as well as being wicked and anarchist
I’m also seeking agitation of the public opinion
I’m the enemy of the people; as well as commoner and populist
I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin

“In this city no one I see is conscious” (Rumi)
I believe in dialogue and sometimes formulate conspiracy as well
Mossad and MI6 and SAVAMA and CIA
With Ghandi’s glasses I’m in the format of Putin
I’m all the contradictions; of course that I am Shahin
