Maryam The Genius

A tribute to Professor Maryam Mirzakhani

Maryam,

today is your birthday,

the day you brought brightness

to the world of many women

and to the patriarchy society

of Iran

Maryam,

your bravery to ignore cliches

your humbleness to avoid show-off

your hardworking to do the impossible

made my nation proud,

made our women hopeful

I was 13 when you passed away,

I remember I was so passionate about mathematics

losing you was like losing a hero

On each math problem,

you were always on my mind

How many years will take

for god to gift another you

to the man kind?

Your value,

is above any policy,ideology

and religion that,

these ritards,mullahs

and patriarchs

are speechless to question

your highness

Rest in peace,

for now you honor Asian women

beside Marie Curie

Rest in peace,

for now your birthday,

is "The Day of Women in Mathematics"

Her death still haunts me..

As you've used the word "still" here, it seems to me that wether you are a mathamatics lover or you're somehow related to Iran, because of being familiar with her.
Tnx for the comment

i'm not iranian, (not far), and yes i love math. It was lovely to encounter a poem about her when i was browsing the science tag of the search engin

[Nima.Hope]

I shake your hands since those who love mathematics are few🤞

Gifts from God are unique. No two alike. I like how you've expressed your own passions by writing about hers. Mathematics and social justice. Equality. I like that you explain things in notes as well. She only lived for forty years? What happened? I'll have to search. Nice tribute Nima.

[Nima.Hope]

Yes, she was a gift to the world. Sadly she died of cancer. She was a top professor at Harvard and Stanford.
Thank you Bill for your lovely comment 🤍

What a wonderful poem about Maryam...
She really sounds like such a wonderful women.

I believe life was cruel to her, to die at 40 while having so many to accomplish. We needed her during the days of protest, her words absolutely had great impression on my nation.
Thank you Lisa.
Have a nice day🤍

A beautiful tribute to this remarkable woman, dear Nima. She was a beacon of shining light and an achiever leading the way for women in Iran and wider.Your author notes have her standing beside the great Marie Curie, so that speaks volumes. Very fitting, she should be remembered on her birthday. Your admiration shines through.

She is one of few people who have lightened our credit and value in the world, after the infamous Islamic Revolution. Everywhere in the news, you can find a Terrorist related to Iran, but She made my country proud, by being one of the youngest Professors of Stanford and Harvard. It's sad to see such noble people die at such young age.
Thank you my dear friend🤍

You are very welcome Nima.
