ای شعله حزین

O sorrowful flame O fiery love O final pain

Is this your fervor or the madness of tears Or my poem that gives me everlasting burning? I will seek it no more I will not wander for it at night I will not tell it a secret

O sorrowful flame O fiery love O final pain

Countless nights beside the stream in the mountain's expanse Until in longing and lament and pain and torment I quietly travel the silent road of those who are gone Beside the mountain — at the foot of the waterfall

Ay shohlaye hazin Ay ishqe aatashin Ay darde wapaseen

Ein shore tust ya ke jonoone sereshkha Ya shehre man ke medehadam soze jawedani

Digar najoyamash Shabha naboyamash Raze nagoyamash

Digar najoyamat shabha naboyamat raze nagoyamat Ay shohlaye hazin Ay ishqe aatashin Ay darde wapaseen

Shabhaye beshoma pahloye joybar dar sahne kohsar Ay shohlaye Jenoon Ay ishqe aatashin Ay darde wapaseen

Ta dar feraq o nala o dard o sheanjaha Ahesta tay konam rah khamosh raftagan

Pahloye kohsar Dar paye aabshar Bar roye sabza-zar

Bar paa shawad qeyamat bos o kenarha Ama ze maa gosesta bowad omrha anan

Shayad ke salha Larzan setaraha Mahtab paraha

Dar aseman saaf o balaye abrohaa Tabad feraz shahr o nabashad ze ma neshan
