Agar bahar byayad, taranaha khwaham khand Taranahaye khoshe, ashiqana khaham khand
Ba gahwaraye aghosh man cho khahi khoft Bagoshe khater tu man, fesanaha khawahad khand
Goshoda lanaye ishq o feshanda danaye meher Tura parendaye ghamgin ba ashyana khaham khand
متن اصلی
اگر بهار بيايد ، ترانه ها خواهم خواند ترانه های خوشى ، عاشقانه خواهم خواند
به گهوارۀ آغوش من چو خواهی خفت بگوش خاطر تو من ، فسانه ها خواهم خواند
گشوده لانه ی عشق و فشانده دانه ی مهر ترا پرندۀ غمگين به آشيانه خواهم خواند
If spring were to come — a conditional reunion poem, spring used as the figure for the beloved's return and the renewal she would bring to a world that has gone cold without her.
About This Recording
Spring stands in for the beloved: if the season came, so would she, the whole cold world flushing back into color. It is a very Afghan image. On the Central Asian steppe the turn from hard winter to bloom happens fast and all at once. But the verb holds it just out of reach — if spring came. It hasn't; she hasn't. The song lives in the gap between the wish and its arrival, which is the ghazal's most fertile ground.
