Lyrics updated · July 2026Transliteration
Asman khalist, khali, roshananash ra ki bord? Taj mahash, seena rez kahkashanash ra ke bord?
Baghban tanhast, tanha, gerd o joz khar nest Bede moshkash ra, gulash ra, arghawanash ra ke bord?
Aan chenar der saal aazorda az behooda gist Aasheyan morghakane naghma khwanash ra ki bord?
Pesh az ein ha zamin ra asmane sabz bood Nesto einak joz seyahee, asemanash ra ki bord?
متن اصلی
آسمان خاليست، خالی، روشنانش را که برد؟ تاج ماهش، سينه ريز کهکشانش را که برد؟
باغبان تنهاست، تنها، گرد او جز خار نيست بيد مشکش را، گلش را، ارغوانش را که برد؟
آن چنار دير سال آزرده از بيهوده گيست آشيان مرغکان نغمه خوانش را که برد؟
پيش از ين ها زمين را آسمان سبز بود نيست اينک جز سياهی، آسمانش را که برد؟
The Sky Is Empty — absence perceived cosmically, the sky without its usual stars read as a figure for a world emptied by the beloved's departure.
About This Recording
The sky is empty — loss blown up to cosmic scale. When the sky goes dark, no stars, no moon, the world really is less than it was, not just figuratively. The beloved's leaving has that quality: her absence doesn't merely sadden the singer, it thins out the world itself. Zahir's melancholy here is atmospheric, the arrangement opening space around the voice the way the emptied sky opens overhead. He respects the size of it. This is not a small sadness but a change in the quality of everything.
