Lyrics
Lyrics updated · July 2026Transliteration
Dilakam, hay dilakam, hay dilakam Morghake tere jafa khorda dilakam
Tura az duro mebinam chi hasel Ba pahloyat nameshinam chi hasel
Darakhte hosne tu golzar karda Az aan golha namechinam chi hasel
Siya chashmak ba dilbande tu bashad Baqay jan ze paywande tu bashad
Safar kardam ba golshanhay dunya Nadidam kas ke manande tu bashad
متن اصلی
دلکم، ای دلکم، ای دلکم مرغک تير جفا خورده گکم
ترا از دور می بينم چه حاصل به پهلويت نمی نشينم چه حاصل
درخت حسن تو گلزار کرده از آن گلها نمی چينم چه حاصل
سياه چشمک به دل بند تو باشد بقای جان ز پيوند تو باشد
سفر کردم به گلشن های دنيا ندیدم کس که مانند تو باشد
The apostrophe to the heart — addressing one's own heart as a separate being, holding it responsible for its choices while unable to separate from it. A song of tender self-interrogation.
About This Recording
The song talks to its own heart as if it were another person: one that made its choices and has to answer for them, and one the singer cannot walk away from. The little diminutive — delakam — turns the heart into something small and dear. So the tone is not anger but the fondness you would use with a beloved child who has just gotten you both into trouble.
