English to Persian (Farsi) Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Poetic Expressions

Greetings,

How do you say ‘life’s blood’ in Persian, please?

It is a fairly poetic term, and refers to the blood in your body which is necessary for you to go on living. "Lifeblood" is similar but more figurative.

Please see:

But as her life's blood slipped away
I thought I heard her say
Don't play around

Btw, I can't help but wonder if خون گلوی حسین really refers to Emām Ḥoseyn’s ‘life’s blood’ rather than literally the blood in his throat.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
