Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: تاهستم و هست دارمش دوست
Hi Everyone,

I've just posted this question somewhere else by mistake. I am going to post it here which is the right place. I hope I am not breaking a rule by repeating the same question in two different places!!
Could you please tell me what is the idiomatic English translation for this Persian expression? I know it means I love you for ever; but I need a nicer equivalence.

Thanks,
Sima

Explanation:
This is a verse from Iraj Mirza, the great Iranian poet.
گویند: مرا چو زاد مادر
پستان به دهن گرفتن آموخت

شبها بر گاهواره ی من
بیدار نشت و خفتن آموخت

لبخند نهاد بر لب من
بر غنچه ی گل شکفتن آموخت

یک حرف و دو حرف بر زبانم
الفاظ نهاد و گفتن آموخت

دستم بگرفت و پا بپا کرد
تا شیوه ی راه رفتن آموخت

پس هستی من ز هستی اوست
تا هستم و هست دارمش دوست
English version:
Breaking loose from my mother's womb
She bore me they say, into this larger womb

In her arm she then made me to settle,
Guiding my mouth, so her breath I may suckle.

At night beside my cradle rocking,
Awake she stayed and taught my sleeping.

Step by step my hand held firmly,
She taught my ways of walking gently.

A letter or two on my tongue she planted,
Then rolled in words, my speech she prompted.

Anon so lovingly she beamed a smile,
To coax a grin and make me smile.

Like a flower blossom that blooms a while,
She taught me gently to bloom a smile.

With so much pain she bore my being,
In this world indeed I owe her my being.

I love her dearly as long as I live,
I truly love her beyond my being.
