Two Plus Two Equals One

They’d ask in school,
What’s two plus two?
They all wrote, Four.
Although my math scores were low
I knew two plus two make one, not four.
These lips and the tongue and the teeth
Make one mouth to shout, not four.
Two hands and two feet make one body
to get to work, not four.
Neighborhood, alley, house, and street make a city.
where people live, rich and poor; they don’t make four!
To me, root, trunk, branch, and leaf don’t make four
They make a tree, some short, and others as high as sycamore;
Love, heart, beauty and purity
make beloved, to the lover
they don’t make four.
All these
make ones and not fours.
There are others to count
but do you just add?
All I know is that
If they slice my body into a thousand
or throw me to bullets
If I am to walk right towards the noose
I speak my heart:
my Kurdistan is one,
and cannot make four.

Poem by Nadir Qazî
Translation by Abdulrahman Sabir

دوو دانه‌ دوو ده‌کاته‌ یه‌ک

له‌ مه‌کته‌ب بووم
ده‌یان پرسی دوو دانه‌ دوو ده‌کاته‌ چه‌ند؟
هه‌موو پێکڕا ده‌یان نووسی ده‌کاته‌ چوار.
هه‌ر چه‌ند ئه‌من له‌ حیسابا
نمره‌ی که‌مم ده‌هێنا و ده‌هاتمه‌ خوار
به‌ڵام لای من وا بوو دوو دانه‌ دوو
نابێ به‌ چوار؛ ده‌بێ به‌ یه‌ک
ددان و دوو لێو و زمان، نابێ به‌ چوار
ده‌بن به‌ زار
به‌ پێکڕای ده‌که‌ن هاوار..
دوو لاق و دووده‌ستی مرۆڤ؛ نابێ به‌ چوار
له‌ له‌شێکدا وا دێنه‌ کار..
گه‌ڕه‌ک، کۆڵان، خانو و شه‌قام نابن به‌ چوار
ده‌بن به‌ شار؛
تێدا ده‌ژین ده‌وڵه‌مه‌ند و خه‌ڵکی هه‌ژار..
لای من وا بوو کۆرکه‌ و ڕێشه، لق و گه‌ڵا
نابن به‌ چوار ده‌بن به‌ دار؛
هێندێ کورت و هێندێک درێژ وه‌کوو چنار..
ئه‌وین و دڵ، جوانی و پاکی نابێ به‌ چوار
ده‌بن به‌ یار به‌لای دڵدار..
ئه‌م هه‌موو دوو به‌ دووانه‌
ده‌بن به‌ یه‌ک؛ نابن به‌ چوار
یه‌کجار زۆرن؛
به‌ڵام له‌ کوێ وا دێنه‌ ژمار؟
ته‌نها ئه‌وه‌نده‌ ده‌زانم
ئه‌گه‌ر له‌شم سه‌د پارچه‌ که‌ن؛
بمده‌نه‌ به‌ر گوله‌و ره‌گبار؛
بچمه‌ سه‌ر دار
قسه‌ی دڵمه‌ دێته‌ سه‌ر زار:
کوردستانم وڵاتێکه‌ و
نابێ به‌ چوار‌.

A massive thank you to Halifax Search and Rescue, the RCMP, and the incredible communities of Hatchet Lake and Prospect Road.

During our Newroz celebrations, a child from our community went missing. The fast response, overwhelming support, and dedication from every single person who showed up to help search and bring them back safely means the world to us.

We are so lucky to be surrounded by such a caring community. Thank you for standing with us!

Today, on March 21st, the Halifax Kurdish Society is incredibly proud to share this historic, official Proclamation from the City of Halifax.

This year, the municipality has officially recognized the deep meaning behind the flag of Kurdistan, the 21 rays of our sun rooted in ancient Yazdani traditions, and the enduring resilience of our people in our ancestral homeland of Kurdistan. It also beautifully acknowledges Halifax as a safe, welcoming home for Kurdish refugees and immigrants seeking new beginnings.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Mayor and his dedicated team for their genuine collaboration. Thank you for listening to our community, honoring our history, and helping us put this powerful message on the official municipal record.

May Newroz bring peace and freedom to everyone celebrating this year. Newroza we pîroz be!

Ragihandina fermî, îro 21ê Adarê, ji bilî şaredariya bajarê Halifaxê, ji bo pîrozkirina Newroza 2026an, sala kurdî ya nû. Di ragihandina ku şaredarê Halifaxê Andy Fillmore xwend Kurdistan wek welatî kurdan yê dîrokî tê nîşan kirin û 21ê Adarê wekî roja Newrozê, sala nû ya kurdî, tê pêşkêşkirin. Her wiha jî, bajarê Halifaxê û welatê Kanada wekî wargehên ewle ji bo penaber û koçberên kurd tên xuyakirin.

Em spasiya şareder û endamên wî dikin û Newroza we pîroz dikin. Em hêvî dikin ev Newroz bibe Newroza aşîtî û serxwebûna kurdan li Kurdistanê û li hemû deverên cîhanê. Newroza we pîroz be!
