از یادت من برفتم
Az Yadat Man Beraftam
“I Left Your Memory”
Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026English Translation
I have slipped from your memory, O beautiful pretty one I wandered the garden faithlessly — from your memory
You gave your hand to rivals You went to the feast of competitors at night I burned through nights thinking of you You showed no mercy — faithless one
In your name I wish for this world My day has gone dark — stay, dark-eyed one Know this as my last wish: I burned through nights of your separation
Transliteration
Az yadat man beraftam zebay-e khub-e royan Gashtam ba bagh-e be wafa az yadat
Dast ba dast-e raqiban daday-e Shab ba bazm-e harifan raftay-e Man ba yad-e tu shabha sokhotam Rahem nakardi ba halam bewafa
Man ba naam-e tu khwaham in jahan Roz-e man shod seya chashman beman Akherin arezoy-e man bedan Man ze hijr-e tu shabha sokhotam
متن اصلی
از یادت من برفتم زیبایی خوب رویان ګشتم به باغ بی وفا از یادت
دست به دست رقیبان داده یی شب به بزم حریفان رفته یی من به یاد تو شب ها سوختم رحم نه کردی به حالم بی وفا
من به نام تو خواهم این جهان روز من شد سیه چشمان بمان آخرین آرزوی من بدان من ز هجر تو شبها سوختم
I have slipped from your memory — the speaker gone from the beloved's mind while nights of burning in separation continue. The rivals' feast while the speaker burns; the dark-eyed one asked to stay as a final wish.
About This Recording
Az Yadat Man Beraftam — I Have Slipped from Your Memory — occupies the position of the forgotten lover: the speaker has not left the beloved, but the beloved has ceased to think of him. The Persian verb beraftan (to go, to slip away) suggests something gradual rather than a single act of forgetting — he has drifted out of her attention.
The contrast is between his nights — burning in separation — and her nights — at the feast of rivals, the competitors for her affection who have succeeded where he has failed. The rivals' feast (bazm-e raqiban) is a specific social event the speaker can imagine clearly: noise, company, the beloved's presence. Against this he has only burning.
'In your name I wish for this world / My day has gone dark — stay, dark-eyed one' — the address shifts to direct appeal, asking her to stay as his 'last wish' (akherin arzoo). The darkness of the day, matched to her dark eyes, is the song's final image: light withdrawn, the beloved's darkness the only thing that might restore it.
