Che Shabha Ba Yadat

What nights I have spent in the corner of separation, thinking of you Thinking of you, I drank the deep crimson wine

I have gone mad — maddened by your face

I and the bitter memory of you and your name You, unaware of the cries of my nights

How mad I am — how mad I was, how mad I am today Alas, O friends — woe is me That I am mad, maddened by your face

How beautifully you used to sing your stories and songs The candle-night with its burning and music

I fell at your feet, an innocent head laid down Have mercy on me — I have no guilt Why unfaithful? Why did you become unfaithful? You do not know the worth of my love

I have not given up — end now this acquaintance For I am mad, maddened by your face

Chi shabha ba yadat ba konje jodaye Ba yadat kashidam maye arghwani

Shodam dewana dewanaye royat Shodam dewana dewanaye royat Shodam dewana o dewanaye royat

Man o yade talkh tu o naame tu Man o yade talkh tu o naame tu Tu ghafel ze faryade shabhaye man Tu ghafel ze faryade shabhaye man

Chi dewana am Chi dewana bodam chi dewana am man Dereghe man ay dostan way o bar man Ke hastam dewana dewanaye royat hastam dewana dewanaye royat

Chi khosh meserod adis o tarana Shabe shama ba soz o saze shabana Shabe shama ba soz o saze shabana

Chi dewana am Chi dewana bodam chi dewana am man Chi shabha ba yadat ba konje jodaye Ba yadat kashidam maye arghwani

Ba payat fetdadam sare begonahee Tarahom ba man kon nadaram gonahe Chira bewafa, chera bewafa kardi Qadre ishqam nadani

Nadadam dil az sar bekon ashnayee Ke hastam dewana dewanaye royat
