ز جان من چه می‌خواهی

What do you want from my soul? You left — without you I died What do you seek from me, O covenant-breaker? I died

I was faithful to you for a lifetime — alas, you were faithless How many nights I spent without you — where were you those nights?

In whose embrace did you spend your time — who was your companion then When until the whitening of dawn my eyes waited at the door?

You took my heart and left — go, you are not lacking a lover

Ze jane man chi mikhahi? tu rafti be tu man mordam Ze man degar chi mejoyee? man ay payman shekan mordam

Ba tu omre wafa kardam, deregha bewafa bodi Che shabha be tu sar kardam, tu aan shabha koja bodi

Dar aghoshe ke sar kardi, dar aan shabha ke yarat bood? Ke chashmam ta sapida dam, ba dar dar intezarat bood?

Delam ra bordi o rafti, beraw ashiq mara kam nest Tu shame bazm aghyaree, dilam ra taab ein gham nest
