Sohr芒b Sepehr卯 (Persian: 爻賴乇丕亘 爻倬賴乇蹖鈥�) (October 7, 1928 - April 21, 1980) was a notable modern Persian poet and a painter.
He was born in Kashan in Isfahan province. He is considered to be one of the five most famous modern Persian (Iranian) poets who have practised "New Poetry" (a kind of poetry that often has neither meter nor rhyme).
Sohrab Sepehri was also one of Iran's foremost modernist painters.
Sepehri died in Pars hospital in Tehran of leukemia. His poetry is full of humanity and concern for human values. He loved nature and refers to it frequently. The poetry of Sohrab Sepehri bears great resemblance to that of E.E. Cummings.
Well-versed in Buddhism, mysticism and Western traditions, he mingled the Western concepts with Eastern ones, thereby creating a kind of poetry unsurpassed in the history of Persian literature. To him, new forms were new means to express his thoughts and feelings.

I testify that everyone's mind and heart should be taken away at once, and he should take it with him, not maybe he will suffer (suffering means lover); Where does he take, does he travel, to say I am still on my journey; As far as you know, to meet the words of kindness, and the narrow crystal, and the blue water, and the imaginary sky of springs; Sometimes he travels together; But he soon returns to say, "I come from near a tree"; On its skin, simple hands of homelessness; Had an effect; "I wrote a line of nostalgia as a memento"; Everyone writes the line for someone or an imaginary person, maybe our "Sohrab" also wrote his nostalgia line as a memento, under the orange plant of his sun, with "Sohrab" even the color of the words can be recognized.
