Ba Khud Guftam Pas Az Chande

A conversation the singer has with himself. 'Pas az chande' — after a while — gives it away: this is reflection after the fact, not the first flush of feeling but the reckoning that comes once there has been time to sit with what happened. Zahir underplays it. The setting is spare, trusting the words, and the result is one of his quieter, more inward recordings, a song that asks to be heard late and at low volume.
