English Translation

Kisses are sought by those rose-colored lips One glance from your eyes enchants me

It makes my day like night Your black hair — your heart-soothing grace and charm See how empty the heart is

Like fire you are warm and burning Like a star shining in the night I who have fallen into your snare Have openly given my heart to you I have laid my heart upon your path

Transliteration

Bosa ha talab mekonad aan labane gulgoon Yak negah ze chasmane tu Mara konad afsoon Roze man konad hamcho shab Gesoyee seyahat Dilnawazi o khosh adaa Bebin ke dil khalist

Cho aatashe garm o sozan tuye Cho akhtare shab ferozan tuye Manam ke dar damat oftada-am Aashkara dil ba tu dada-am Ba rahat dil nehada-am

Bas cho aatashi Bas cho sarkashi Bas ke be qararam Marmarein tani Ishwa gar tuye Choon gule bahari

متن اصلی

بوسه ها طلب می کند آن لبان گلگون یک نگه ز چشمان تو مرا کند افسون روز من کند همچو شب گیوسوی سیاهت دلنوازی و خوش ادا ببین که دل خالیست

چو آتش گرم و سوزان تویی چو اختر شب فروزان تویی منم که در دامت افتاده ام آشکارا دل به تو داده ام به راهت دل نهاده ام

بس چو آتشی بس چو سرکشی بس که بی قرارم مرمر ین تنی عشوه گر تویی چون گل بهاری

Kisses are sought by those rose-colored lips; one glance enchants me; like fire warm and burning, like a star in the night — I who have fallen into your snare have openly laid my heart upon your path.

About This Recording

Bosa Ha Talab Mekonad — Kisses Are Sought — opens with an unusual reversal: it is the lips that seek kisses, not the speaker. The rose-colored lips are agents of desire, making their own demands. This small inversion — desire emanating from the beloved rather than the speaker — gives the song an energy that differs from the more common structure of the supplicant requesting the kiss.

The catalog of the beloved's effects — black hair making day like night, grace and charm soothing the heart, fire-like warmth, starlight in darkness — moves through different registers of sensation: visual (black hair), tactile (warmth), luminous (starlight). Each couplet addresses a different sense, building a complete sensory portrait from the perspective of someone who cannot stop cataloguing what they are drawn to.

The closing gesture — 'I who have fallen into your snare have openly given my heart to you / I have laid my heart upon your path' — is deliberately public. The gift is not hidden: the heart is placed on the path where it will be found, or stepped on, or picked up. 'Openly' (ashkara) signals that the speaker has abandoned the concealment that social dignity would require and has placed the vulnerability out where everyone can see it.
