lyrics

Poem by Attar
Meaning translated into Farsi by
Dr. Mousavei, PhD in Philosophy, Islamic Law + Spirituality
Translated into English by Parastou Marashi
Language - Farsi

[Dela yek dam raha kon abo gel ra
Salaye eshgh darde ahle del ra]

Oh My Heart! In one breath, surrender this material life of water and mud.
Instead, be infused in Love and Lovers! Quench the original pain of your soul!

[Ze noore eshgh sham-e jaan barafrooz
Zaboore eshgh az jaanan daramooz]

Love has a quality: pay attention…
Lovers have a brilliant light beaming from within.
Bring this gross body and mind of yours and light it up with the Truth of The Light of
Love. Everything else is meaningless.


[Hadis-e eshgh verde asheghan saz
Del-o-jan dar havaye asheghan baz]

The mantra from the mouth of Lovers is only, “Love! Love! Love! Bring me my Lover!”
Body and soul - surrender it, give it all to the Lovers


[Cho eshgh amad kheradra meyl darkesh
Be dagh-e eshgh khodra nil darkesh]

Once you surrender [to Love] lose your mind. Stop questioning, calculating. Dive into
love. Go into the heat of love fully …Fall in love like someone who drops themselves in
the Nile river: drown yourself! There is so much depth to this love…drown yourself in it.
Become intoxicated! Forget yourself!

[Kherad ab asto eshgh atash be soorat
Nasazad ab ba atash zaroorat]

Knowledge appears like water, Love appears like fire;
In form, these instruments don’t play well together.
The mind tells us to let go of love. This is like extinguishing fire with water.
If you follow the mind, you will certainly lose Love.
The mind tells us to let go of love—this is like extinguishing fire with water.
