The Rain

The Rain (Persian: باران, Bārān), published in 1944, is arguably his most famous poem and one of the best-known works of modern persian poetry. [1] It is a narrative poem about a day in the poet's childhood spent in the forests of Gilan. In the first half of the poem the weather is clear, while in the second half it suddenly begins to rain. The poem means to teach children that despite the weather, which is a metaphor for the person's state of life, the forest, which is a metaphor for life itself, is beautiful.
