Part 2

 

Persian poet: Mojtaba RoshanRavaan

Persian reciter: ‘Ali Fani

 

Never … have I seen a king as graceful as you!

My life, I give for lordly manners of you!

 

You are the sun, the kindest nourisher of all particles!

My life, I give for Zahra-like habitudes of you!

 

More helpless than I, you have no one in your alley!

Never … have I seen a bounteous, as TaaHaa-like as you!

 

As notorious as I, you have no beggar!

Never … have I seen a beloved as beautiful as you!

 

As sickly as I, you have no patient!

Never … have I seen a breath as Maseeh-like as breaths from you!

 

As lonely as I, you have no servant!

Never … have I seen a lonely person as alone as you!

 

As passionate as I, you have no captive!

Never … have I seen anyone as noble as you!

 

The hope of the lonely … where are you? …

The light of Zahra’s grave … where are you?

 

O the manifestation of TaaHaa! O the Flower of the tears of Mawla!

O the heartbroken from the grief of that sorrowful alley!

 

O the burdened by Zaynab’s sorrows! O the burdened by that bloody concavity!

O the black-clothed for Qaasem!

 

O the mourner of Akbar, the flower of the garden of Leila!

O the distressed for the flag-holding hand of the water-bearer of Karbala!

 

O the breaths of Sajjaad! O the melodies of Baaqer! O the prayers of Saadeq!

O the companion of the lonely nights of Kaazem!

 

O the beloved of Reza! O the lonely companion of Jawaad!

O the wish of Haadi! O the dear to heart of ‘Askari!

 

So … our love! Say … where are you?

 

My heart has no desire but longing for you!

My lips have no melody but the name of you!

 

No worth have my Wodu, Adhan, Salah and Qonut, without loving you!

Desolate and ruined is a heart not the home of Narjes’ lilac … it has no sincerity!

 

Come while I am still young … show me the face of you!

For, this life is not faithful … it has no loyalty!
