English Translation

Come, come to the field of the tavern Fear not, fear not — from the nakedness of the tavern

The King of Kings has set up a feast Tell, tell the rends of the tavern

Come all drunk into this palace, come For the Sultan of Sultans has become the guest of the tavern

Come, come — fear not, fear not Forgive the sinners, O Sultan of the tavern

Transliteration

Beyayed beyayed ba maidane kharabat Matarsed matarsed ze oryane kharabat

Shahen-shah Shahen-shah yaki bazm nehada ast Begoyed begoyed ba rendane kharabat

Hama mast dar ayed dar ein qasr beyayed Ke soltane salatin shoda mehmane kharabat

Beyayed beyayed, matarsed matarsed Gonahkar bebakhshed ba sultane kharabat

متن اصلی

بياييد بياييد به ميدان خرابات مترسيد مترسيد ز عریان خرابات

شهنشاه شهنشاه یکی بزم نهاده است بگویید بگویید به رندان خرابات

همه مست در آیید در اين قصر بیایید که سلطان سلاطين شده مهمان خرابات

بیایید بیایید ، مترسيد مترسيد گنهکار ببخشيد به سلطان خرابات

Come to the field of the tavern — fear not the nakedness; the King of Kings has set a feast; the Sultan of Sultans has become the tavern's guest; sinners are forgiven.

About This Recording

Beyayed Beyayed Ba Maidane belongs to the mystical tavern poetry tradition in which the tavern (maikhana or maikade) is a spiritual space, the wine is divine knowledge, and the King who feasts there is God or the divine principle in its most accessible form. The nakedness (birahni) of the tavern — its poverty, its lack of ceremony — is what makes it welcoming rather than forbidding.

The rend (pl. rendan) are the antinomian figures of Sufi poetry — those who break the formal religious code in favor of a direct relationship with the divine. They are the tavern's regulars, and they are called to come in for the feast. The King of Kings setting up a feast for these specifically unrespectable figures is a theological inversion: divine grace reaching the least qualified rather than the most.

'The Sultan of Sultans has become the guest of the tavern' — this reversal is the song's theological center. In ordinary hierarchies, the Sultan receives; here the Sultan arrives as guest, meaning the tavern's regulars have something the Sultan needs. The forgiveness of sinners at the end is both the consequence of the Sultan's presence and the condition that makes the feast possible: no one who has gathered in this particular palace has any other claim to be there.
