اولین عشقم تو بودی

You were my first love, you were my last love You left me, you took my heart, you spoke of me to the world You multiplied my pain and grief — in the silence of midnight I sat alone with myself and sang my own death-song Would that I had never existed, would that I had never existed

Tell me yourself — what are you to me? Willful and proud and intoxicated Love means dying halfway, cutting the thread of existence Would that I had never existed, would that I had never existed

O love, where have you gone again? You are the grief of all the world With my despondent heart you have been companion for years Would that I had never existed, would that I had never existed

Awaleen ishqam tu bodi, aakhreen ishqam tu bodi Rafti az man dil grefti, ba gape mardom namodi Dard o andoham fezodi, dar sokote nima shabha Ba khodam tanha neshtastam, naghmaye margam sorodam Kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam

Khod bogo ba man chi hasti? sarkash o maghroor o masti Ishq yane nima mordan, rishtaye hasti boridan Kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam

Ah ay ishq baz kojaye? az jahane ghosahaye Ba dile afsordaye man, salha shod ashenaye kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam
