به آن همه قول و قرار
Ba An Hama Qawl O Qarar
“With All Those Promises and Agreements”
Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026English Translation
With all those promises and pledges That you had made to me, sorrowful one: you went You wanted to take me away from loneliness But you left me alone: you went
Then all those vows you made: what happened to them? You went and did not keep your promise You said God had brought you to me You went and felt no shame before God
Go, but wherever you are Wherever in this world you are One day I will find you I will look into your eyes Your secret before everyone I will tell and expose you
Transliteration
Ba aan hama qawl o qarar o payman Ke ba mane gham zada dashti rafti Mekhwasti az tanhayee duram koni Ama mara tanha gozashti rafti
Pas aan hama wada ke dadi chi shod Rafti o bar wahda-at wafa nakardi Gofti khoda tura ba man rasanda Rafti o sharme az khuda nakardi
Bero wale har ja bashi Har jaye dunya bashi Yak roze paidayet mekonam Negah ba chashmayet mekonam Raze tura pesh hama Megam o raswayet mekonam
متن اصلی
با آن همه قول و قرار و پيمان که با من غم زده داشتی رفتی ميخواستی از تنهايی دورم کنی اما مرا تنها گذاشتی رفتی
پس آن همه وعده که دادی چه شد رفتی و بر وعده ات وفا نکردی گفتی خدا ترا به من رسانده رفتی و شرمی از خدا نکردی
برو ولی هر جا باشی هر جای اين دنيا باشی يک روزی پيدايت ميکنم نگاه به چشمهايت ميکنم راز ترا پيش همه ميگم و رسوايت ميکنم
With all those promises and pledges you went: you said God had brought you to me, then felt no shame before God. One day I will find you and expose your secret before everyone.
About This Recording
Ba An Hama Qawl O Qarar is structured as an accounting, a listing of what was promised and what was delivered. The Dari words qawl (word, promise) and qarar (agreement, covenant) are distinguished: qawl is what was spoken, qarar is the formal understanding established. Both are invoked because both were broken.
The sharpest line invokes the divine as witness: 'You said God had brought you to me / You went and felt no shame before God.' The beloved had made God a party to the relationship: the arrival was credited to divine will. Departing without keeping the promise is therefore not just faithlessness to the speaker but a kind of impiety, a failure of gratitude to the force that supposedly arranged the meeting.
The final section breaks from lament into threat: a rare move in Zahir's catalog. 'One day I will find you / I will look into your eyes / Your secret before everyone I will tell and expose you.' The exposure promised is social: the secret (raz) that the beloved has been able to maintain (presumably the secret of her faithlessness) will be made public. The speaker does not threaten violence but revelation, which in a society governed by honor and reputation may be more lasting.
