من غلام قمرم

I am the moon's slave — speak of nothing but the moon Before me, speak of nothing but candle and sugar

Speak no word of suffering — speak of nothing but treasure And if you know nothing of this, don't trouble yourself: say nothing

Last night I went mad; love saw me and said: "I have come — don't shout, don't tear your clothes, say nothing"

I said: "O Love, it is something else I fear" It said: "That something else does not exist. Say nothing."

Man ghulame qamaram, ghaire qamar hich mago Peshe man joz sokhane sham o shakar hich mago

Dosh dewana shodam, ishq mara did o begoft: "Amadam nahra mazan, jama madar, hich mago"

Ay neshast tu darin khanaye por naqsh o khyal Khez az ein khana bero, rakht bebar, hich mago"

Goftam: "ay roy freshta ast ajab ba basharast" Goft: "ein ghaire freshta ast o bashar, hich mago"

Sokhan ranj mago, joz sokhan ganj mago War azein bekhabari ranj mabar, hich mago

Goftam: "ay ishq, man az chiz degar metarsam" Goft: "An chiz degar nest, degar hich mago

Man bagosh tu sokhanhaye nehan khawaham goft Sar bejonban ke bale, joz ke basar hich mago"

Qamare jan safte dar rah dil payda shod Dar rahe dil che lotfest safar, hich mago

Goftam: "ay dil, chi mahast ein ke esharat mekard Ke na andazaye tust ein begzar hich mago"

Goftam: "ein chist bego? zer o zabar khwaham shod" Goft: "may bash chonin, zer o zabar hich mago

Goftam: "ay dil badare kon na ke ein wasf khodast?" Goft: "ein hast, wale jand badar hich mago"
