"The most painful falling in the world
Is a time when we go too high
higher than others
Even higher than ourselves
And exactly when we think we are soaring in the sky
The ground takes it's revenge !!"

دردناک ترین سقوط های دنیا
زمانی است
که زیادی بالا می رویم
یا بالاتر از دیگران
یا بالاتر از خودمان
و درست در همان لحظه
که خیال می کنیم در اوج آسمانیم
زمین انتقامش را می گیرد

@angela.ghkh,
Thank you for writing this lovely poem. I'm amazed at how you command two languages. Did you write this in Farsi first? or is that Arabic? I feel like the english is a translation; which would explain some of the odd phrasing. Though I was easily able to understand the gist of what you were saying; I very much enjoyed your poem.
Please take this explication with all the affectionate hope that it helps your future writing.
When I read this the fifth time, I feel like it is quick, effective, and done well. The ending still pleases me every time! I love the finish where the you write, "the ground takes revenge!" I especially like it because "revenge" implies that arrogance is an affront to the very land itself.
Is there a way you can keep the brevity, keep the speed of the poem but make the climb more specific? more image laden? Is it possible to make the "when you're high" portion of the poem more specific image-ish? Like "when you're standing on the 52nd floor laughing at the weary," or something of your own? I worry that "higher than others," and "higher than ourselves" is too vague and obscure.
I'm not certain on your familiarity regarding cliche's. "to the moon" is often overused. Perhaps consider something else.
In closing, I really can't express how pleasing and fun your poem is. I very much enjoy it; enjoy the feeling the last line gives, so playful and exclaiming. Thank you again for sharing this! I can't wait to see a revision if it comes.

The poem is written in Persian
And so there are problems in translation
But the big difference is possible , cause of differences in cultures,Differences in thoughts.
So
You may not really understand something or part of it
But you will understand the whole
As far as I could have changed the vocabulary
To prevent damage to the original poem
at the end..
Thank you very much for your beautiful and useful comment
And I'm glad you enjoyed my poetry

I think you'd better write your poems in English from the scratch...you know?
I think it'll make more sense for yourself while writing...and this way you avoid misunderstandings... I think in some cases, English is more sophisticated to use for a short poem or writing...
I really need you to check my two poems and write your opinions... It'll be appreciated...Thanks...

It's always hard for an arrogant person to rise again after such fall. Hands won't be stretched towards him to rise easily.

@angela.ghkh, This is really deep. When such falls occur, it happens hard and most times the victim finds it so hard to find back his feet. But as rightly once said by a greatman, The true test of a man by how well he rises after a fall. Good poetry.
