“If Spring Were to Come”
Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026English Translation
If spring were to come, I shall sing songs Songs of happiness, songs of love I shall sing
When you sleep in the cradle of my arms I shall sing tales in your ear
The nest of love is opened and the seeds of affection scattered I shall call you, sorrowful bird, to the nest
Transliteration
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.
