ای سرود واپسینم
Aye Soroud Wapasenam
“O Song That Returns to Me”
Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026English Translation
O my final song — I have no shelter but you O last wish — I have no embrace but you
The fire of your love draws me like a madman's call In your embrace is my refuge, in your gaze my hope
The star of my love has died, the hope of my existence has gone O lament of my nights, O incomparable companion
Transliteration
Ay sorode wa pasinam, joz tu panahe nadaram Ay arozoy akharin, joz tu aghoshe nadaram
Atashe ishqe tu hamchoon, mekonad mara cho majnoon Dar aghoshat panahe man, dar negahat omide man
Setaraye isheqe man mord, omido hasti man raft Ay nalaye shabhaye man, ay yare be hamtaye man
متن اصلی
ای سرود واپسينم، جز تو پناهی ندارم ای آرزوی آخرين، جز تو آغوشی ندارم
آتش عشق تو همچون، ميکشد مرا چو مجنون در آغوش ات پناه من، در نگاهت اميد من
ستاره عشق من مرد، اميد هستی من رفت ای ناله ی شبهای من، ای يار بی همتای من
A reflexive song about the nature of song itself — music as something that returns to the singer, not composed but received, arising from the accumulated longing of a life.
About This Recording
A rare thing in his catalog: a song about song. 'Wapas' means it returns — the music does not begin with the singer but comes back to him from somewhere else, the way the mystics always described the poet, as a vessel rather than an author. Heard across his whole body of work, it reads almost as a statement of method. The culture sings; he is the instrument it passes through.
