Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026Transliteration
Ay ba dida am tarik, mahe asoman be tu Sina chak chakam man, hamcho kahkashan be tu
Sheeshaha hama khali, sazha hama khamosh Be namak bowad imshab, bazme asheqan be tu
Lala khone dil noshad, nastaran kafan poshad Sakht matam angez ast, sayre bostan be tu
Ghoncha haye omidam, nashogofta yak roze Rahm kon ke mimirad, qalbe yak jawan be tu
متن اصلی
ای به ديده ام تاريک، ماه آسمان بی تو سينه چاک چاکم من، همچو کهکشان بی تو
شیشه ها همه خالی، ساز ها همه خاموش بی نمک بود امشب، بزم عاشقان بی تو
لاله خون دل نوشد، نسترن کفن پوشد سخت ماتم انگيز است، سير بوستان بی تو
غنچه های اميدم، نا شگفته يک روزی رحم کن که می ميرد، قلب يک جوان بی تو
You who have darkened my eyes — the beloved's departure or unfaithfulness leaving the world without light. Blindness as the consequence of love's loss.
About This Recording
The beloved's absence figured as blindness: a world without her is a world with the light gone out. It leans on the old convention where the beloved's face is light itself, so that losing her darkens everything at once, literally and otherwise. This one sits in the sorrowful half of his catalog, the voice of someone for whom the dark is not a possibility but a fact already being lived.
