Kistam man? rahnaward aawara o diwanaye Dagh majnoonam ze dast be kasi afsanaye
Ne qaboole zahedam man, ne ze pire may ferosh Ne ba masjid rah dadand, ne dar aan maykhanaye
Barg khoshkam az darakh arezo oftada am Ne ba golshan rah dadand ne dar atashkhanaye
Ne kase raa saya gashtam ne kase shod saya-am Shewa-e araamam man dil ba dar wairana-am
متن اصلی
کيستم من؟ رهنورد آواره و ديوانه يی داغ مجنونم ز دست بی کسی افسانه يی
نی قبول زاهدم من، نی ز پير می فروش نی به مسجد راه دادند، نی در آن ميخانه يی
برگ خشکم از درخت آرزو افتاده ام نی بگلشن راه دادند نی در آتشخانه يی
نی کسی را سایه گشتم نی کسی شد سایه ام شیوه ی آرام ام من دل به در ویرانه ای
Who Am I, a Traveler — the self-questioning of the perpetual wanderer, identity located in movement rather than place. Love as the condition that makes all fixed home impossible.
About This Recording
Who am I, a traveler — the speaker as the awara, the wanderer with no fixed home. The awara is not just homeless but unmoored, someone whose love or loss has made any settled place impossible. 'Who am I' is not confusion here; it is the honest admission that the wandering has changed the self.
Vol. 5 takes its name, Awara, from exactly this figure, and this track gives the album its frame. The traveler questioning his own nature is also the singer examining what his music does — what it means to carry songs across the distances that love keeps opening.
