گفتگو با شاعری که تا 62 سالگی شعرهایش را پاره می کرد!!؛ لهیا واسع حق دوست شاعر و نقاش اکباتانی

                                                    نه منزلگاه و ماوایی مرا نیست

به فکرم روز و شب اندیشه دارم

                                                   ز تقدیرم  که  آوایی مرا نیست

و با رسم  زمانه  من  بجنگم

                                                  نه در دستم سپر، نایی مرا نیست

بکوبند طبل  بر بام  دو  عالم

                                                 در این خانه که غوغایی مرا نیست

                       به خواب و در خیالم هر شب و روز

                       به  هرجا رفته ام  جایی   مرا    نیست

Please introduce yourself.
My name is Lahya Vasse Haghdoost. I was born on eleven Day Thirty Thirty-Nine in Rasht. My father was an employee of the ministry of finance; so we stayed in Roodbar until I was Thirteen.

I remember that I wrote poems even at that age. My teachers used to encourage me a lot. But I destroyed all of them. My father’s family was culturally rich and I didn’t hpe to get to a high place in writing poems. I continued this writing and ruining until I was sixty three. Then I thought of keeping my poems.

Mr. Saleh Ala used to have a program in T.V. then. I got in touch with the program and read some of my poems. He listened enthusiastically. But I added at the end that I had intended to burn all of them. He was really shocked to hear this and asked me to contact again after the program. I did so and he encouraged me to continue to write poems.

This made me not to destroy and continue to compose. The result has been 5 volumes of poems.

When did you start painting?
In Two thousand and eleven. And that was because of my severe desire to and great pleasure on painting. I worked in Aye Culture House for a month under supervision of Ms. Babazadeh. But I left it because of an unexpected illness.

Some time later, I continued the job with Mr. Hoseinzadeh and then with Mr. Yousefi. And I have been painting by myself for a year now.

My paintings are of two types. Some are of my own and some others I have worked under supervision of my masters.

How many paintings have you had so far? What about the designs?
So far, I’ve had forty two.paintings most of which are mental and without an outside pattern. Of course, they are almost nothing as compared with great painters’ who own masterpieces. I respect and love all of them one by one.

I have started writing my life story recently. But it will take quite a long time because of some unpleasant events.
What is your style in poetry and who has inspired you?
Since  I love lyrics, most of my poems are also lyrics. I have some modern poems, too which you can find in books four and five.

Most of my poems are in the form of social poems. I like Parvin Etesami and master Moallem very much and respect them highly.

What are your educational and professional background?
I have studied up to grade three in old high school system, used to be called first cycle plus twenty years of teaching the Quran and religion. But I had to buy myself off because my husband didn’t agree. Then I started teaching cultural issues in private classes.

Finally, tell us if there’s something you want to say to people.
I have traveled everywhere in the world and returned to my dear country again. I have a specific love to this country and its dear young people. I ask them to be united in all stages of their lives and pray for one another.

I have a sole expectation from the responsible men to try to protect our young people in creating jobs, employment and marriage.
God bless all.
