Transliteration

Gule sangam gule sangam Chi begam az dile tangam Mesle aftaab agah bar man Natabi sardaam o berangam

Hama aham hama dardam Mesle toofan por gardam Baad mastam ke tu sahra Mepicham dawre tu megardam

Mesle baran agah nabari Khabar az hal eman nadari Be tu parpar meshom do roze Dil sangat baram mesoze

Gule sangam gule sangam Chi begam az dile tangam

متن اصلی

گل سـنگم گل سنگم چی بـگم از دل تـنـگم مثل آفتاب اگـه بـر من نتابی سردم و بیرنگم

هـمـه آهـم همه دردم مـثـل طـوفـان پر گردم باد مـسـتم کـه تـو صـحـرا می پیچم دور تو می گردم

مثل بـارون اگه نـبـاری خبر از حال من نـداری بی تو پرپر می شم دو روزه دل سنگـت برام می سوزه

گل سـنگم گل سنگم چی بـگم از دل تـنـگم

About This Recording

I am a stone flower — a bloom that comes up out of bare rock, which is the whole self-portrait: beauty holding on where holding on looks impossible. In Afghan and Persian folk imagery the stone flower stands for endurance, the plant that survives, and even softens, the harshest ground.

The folk register ties it to Zahir the preservationist. The image is specifically Central Asian, drawn from a landscape where flowers really do push through stone, where the metaphor is standing on something you can point to.
