About me

Bay Tu Bahaaraan

(Without You in Springtime)

 

Bay tu bahaaraan          

Nam namay baaraan           

Talkh ast maraa           

Tu Kujaayee                 

Baaz dil yaad'e tu kard    

 

Man o tu tanhaa nishastaym  

Dar sukuyt'e shaam o gahaan

Dar kinaaray sahil'e roh   

Az nazarha put o pinhaan   

Haal gashta aym jidaa

Ahay az tanhaaee ha         

Ba hawayat,

Ba khuda tangast dilam    

 

Yaad'e rozhaaye guzashta  

Yaad'e lahzaye aashenayee    

Khandahayay shaad o monam  

Girya'e waqtaye jidayee   

Haal gashta aym jidaa,     

Ahay az tanhaee ha      

Ba hawayat,

Ba khuda tangast dilam    

 

 


Without You in Springtime

(Bay Tu Bahaaraan)

 

Without you in springtime

In the dampness of the rain

I am pained

Where are you?

Again my heart is thinking of you

 

You and I sat alone

In the silence of dusk

Next to the waterfront

Away from the eyes of others

Now we have gone separate ways

Dreading the loneliness

I swear my heart is aching

 

 

Remembering the old days

Remembering the moment we met

The joy we shared

The tears of separation

Now we have gone separate ways

Dreading the loneliness

I swear my heart is aching
