Poetry | Forough Farokhzad's fathe bagh Part 5

In this last part of our series on Forough Farrokhzad, we learn
the final part of the selection of the poem we've been learning.
In addition, we learn about three birds that feature prominently
in the poem that play a large part in the symbolic structure of
the poem. These birds are the crow (kalāgh), the eagle (oghāb),
and the mythical Iranian bird, the seemorgh (seemorgh). As
Forough Farrokhzad explores her relationship and the role society
and nature play in her relationship, she evokes these different
birds. Each bird plays a pivotal role in her understanding of her
relationship and of her self.
