بی آنکه بخواهم ساربان زد زیر آواز. صدایش حاصل قرنها سکوت بیابان پر سکوت بود. ... آواز
ساربان گفتی از مغز تاریخ می آمد انگار از خمسه ی نظامی سر ریز می شود.پرسیدم این شعرها
را از کجا یاد گرفته ای؟
گفت: تا عاشق نباشی شعر نمی گویی
برگرفته از : ساربان سرگردان نوشته ی سیمین دانشور
Without asking him, camel-driver started to sing.
His voice was the expression of centuries of silence present in the fully still desert... .
It was as if his song was coming from the depth of history.
I asked him: Where have you learnt these poems from?
He said you would not tell a poem if you were not in love.
From: The camel-driver, bewildered written by Simin Daneshvar
You are suffering, that's why you are playing (Tar) so well now.
From: Chicken with plums written by Marjaneh Satrapi
You are leaving soon and I will miss you. Anyhow I was missing you even when you were here.

Nice piece to bring it up...
By the way, 'camel-driver' is kind of funny name and I though there might be a better translation for 'sareban', but it checked and seems there is not much.
I really like the last line of poetry with no author. I've read it many times since you posted it.
"You are leaving soon and I will miss you. Anyhow I was missing you even when you were here."
Maybe because it's appropriate in a bittersweet kind of way...
