Lyrics updated · July 2026Transliteration
Awaleen ishqam tu bodi, aakhreen ishqam tu bodi Rafti az man dil grefti, ba gape mardom namodi Dard o andoham fezodi, dar sokote nima shabha Ba khodam tanha neshtastam, naghmaye margam sorodam Kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam
Khod bogo ba man chi hasti? sarkash o maghroor o masti Ishq yane nima mordan, rishtaye hasti boridan Kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam
Ah ay ishq baz kojaye? az jahane ghosahaye Ba dile afsordaye man, salha shod ashenaye kash hargez man naboodam, kash hargez man naboodam
متن اصلی
اولين عشقم تو بودی، آخرين عشقم تو بودی رفتی از من دل گرفتی، با گپ مردم نمودی درد و اندوهم فزودی، در سکوت نيمه شب ها با خودم تنها نشستم، نغمه مرگم سرودم کاش هرگز من نبودم، کاش هرگز من نبودم
خود بگو با من چه هستی؟ سرکش و مغرور و مستی عشق يعنی نيمه مردن، رشته ی هستی بريدن کاش هرگز من نبودم ، کاش هرگز من نبودم
آه ای عشق باز کجايی؟ از جهان غصه هايی با دل افسردۀ من، سالها شد آشنايی کاش هرگز من نبودم ، کاش هرگز من نبودم
You were my first love — the particular weight of what comes first, the love that calibrates all subsequent experience. A recording of origin and original loss.
About This Recording
You were my first love, and 'awaleen', first, carries all the weight. The first love is not just the earliest; it is the one that sets the standard everything after gets measured against, which usually means the one that leaves everything after feeling like less.
Zahir sings it without bitterness, with the clear-eyed calm of a man who has made his peace. The first love is not mourned here. It is simply acknowledged — a fixed fact of the inner life that stays true no matter what has come since.
