توبه توبه از شب هجران

Repentance, repentance — repentance from the night of separation From weeping eyes, from a ruined heart From the cruelty of the beautiful, from the pain of longing — repentance

Of the burning and pain of separation, O counselor, you know nothing You have not seen the wound of love — no ember burns in your heart You have not had blood in your liver from someone's separation

Love was day and night — bearing cruelty and oppression Go, go — you have not seen it, rolling in mud and blood Where was hearing, O counselor — like seeing with the eyes

Toba, toba, az shabe hijran Az chashme geryan, az qalbe wayran Az jawre khooban, az ranje arman, toba

Ze soz o darde hijran, naseh khabar nadari Nadidaye dagh ishq, badil sharar nadari Tu az feraqe kase, khoon dar jigar nadari

Ishq bowad roz o shab, jawr o setam kashidan Raw, raw, nadidaye tu, bakhak o khoon tapidan Koja bowad shanidan, naseh ba mesle didan
