از تو دورم
Az Tu Dooram
“I Am Far from You”
Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026English Translation
I am far from you, mad and bewildered by you So lost in you that I am as though in your embrace
Not for a moment from the heart do I lose your enchanting memory Although like love having left the heart, I am forgotten by you
My warm gaze is in your eloquent eye My desire of a kiss is in your silent lips
Although I am in longing from the distance of your lightning glance I live by your memory and the warmth of your embrace
Transliteration
Az tu dooram man o dewana o madhoshe tu-am Aan qadar mahw tu gashtam ke dar aghoshe tu-am
Yakdam az dil nabaram yade dilawez tura Gar che chon ishqe ze dil rafta, faramoshe tu-am
Negahe garmam o dar chashme sokhan goyee tu-am Hawase bosa-am o dar labe khamoshe tu-am
Gar che dar hasratam az dureye barqe negahat Zenda ba yade tu o garmeye aghoshe tu-am
متن اصلی
از تو دورم من و ديوانه و مدهوش تو ام آنچنان محو تو گشتم که در آغوش تو ام
يکدم از دل نبرم ياد دلاويز ترا گر چه چون عشق ز دل رفته ، فراموش تو ام
نگه گرمم و در چشم سخن گوی تو ام هوس بوسه ام و در لب خاموش تو ام
گر چه در حسرتم از دوری برق نگهت زنده با ياد تو و گرمی آغوش تو ام
Far from you yet so lost in you I'm as if in your embrace — distance that is not distance. Living by memory and the warmth of an embrace that is not happening but feels present.
About This Recording
Az Tu Dooram — I Am Far from You — establishes its central paradox in the opening couplet: physically far, experientially inside the embrace. Distance and presence are in conflict; the speaker's inner reality contradicts the spatial fact.
'Not for a moment from the heart do I lose your enchanting memory / Although like love having left the heart, I am forgotten by you' — the asymmetry is quietly precise. His memory of her is constant; her memory of him has already performed the departure that he is still physically enacting. She has already forgotten while he cannot.
The closing couplet stays with the tactile: 'I live by your memory and the warmth of your embrace.' Memory here is not abstraction but temperature — warmth, the physical quality of a body close to another. That the warmth is remembered and not present does not make it less operational. Zahir's voice carries this distinction without dramatizing it.
