YOU

You come to my heart, you know my world

You speak of freedom

You're in my home, you've broken every chain

You've gone beyond limits, you're pure and sincere

You're radiant as a candle,

you're my soul

You've touched my heart with your kindness

You're tender to me

You're truly my problemsolver

I have nothing in this world

You're my hope and promise,

You're my guiding light

If I'm free of worries, you, yes, you, are the reason

For I'm free of the chains of the devout

You've stolen my heart and have relieved me of my sorrow

For "Parnia" you're my nightingale, you're my phoenix

EMPTINESS

You'll come to visit when the cup is empty of soul

The tears of sorrow are gone and my eyes are dry

The jug of wine has broken and there's no trace of the bearer

Alas, my cup is empty

The freshness of love is almost forgotten

The flame is depressed and the lantern is empty

I'm flying on the wing of zephyr's wind

For the candlelight didn't last and the candleholder is empty

Listen softly to the one with black eyes speak of the heart

Collyrium didn't last long and the collyrium bottle is empty

What joy it is to drink wine

Gain knowledge instead for the world is empty

For as "Parnia" exposed her soul to the spear

There are no more misty flowers, the rosewater bottle is empty

FLYING

Stay with my dear flower, keep your promise

Don't break your promise my dear smiling flower

Although my wing is broken

I will fly to you with a broken wing

The destiny has broken our heart

Which one of our friends or loved ones can keep our secrets?

I told memories of you to the mirror

So that no one can have our secrets

Until your soul's candle is lit and bright

I will fly like a butterfly to keep my promise

Stay with me my better perfume of springs

My dear companion of the garden of flowers

"Pari" has been longing for your union at the door

Walk to me gracefully, my beautiful bird

CRAZY HEART

As I told my story

My crazy heart cried for me

Your black eyes spoke

With everyone, everywhere, of any religion

Crazy me trapped by you

Like a Dervish

I will fly high like a bird

Perhaps to bring you to me

Your life short, O, candle

Like the thoughts of lovers

I told my story, "Pari"

In a thousand words, more or less

THE WARP & WOOF OF KINDNESS

The morning breeze blowing on the flowers

Spreading mist on the hearts

You're a young tree and I'm a tired gardener

Whose heart he has given to you, the young flower

The joy of visiting the lover is seeing the heart

The gray hair is now resting on my head, come, please come

The warp & woof of our existence are woven together

Therefore, we are

Don't hit the hammer to part the root of the heart

The sorrow of separation cuts through our roots completely

When the scent of your hair reaches "Parnia"

She will write a melody of love and devotion

THE HEIGHT OF DRUNKENNESS

O, wine bearer, serve wine, the symbol of purity

In the tavern there's no fear of damnation

The wine that brings pleasure and warmth to the face

The wine that gives kindness and softness to the heart

Will turn the hundred colors of thought to only one color

And will change our souls one hundred ways

O, wine bearer, put the colorful drop on my lips

Give life to Majnoon* for Leily's* away

Give wine so we can quickly find a cure to the sorrow of our hearts

To drop a tear in the height of drunkenness

We are excited

We are like the bright moon in the sky

* Characters, similar to Romeo and Juliet, in a traditional Persian story.

HOME OF THE HEART

I became acquainted with your remembrance, my dear

Perhaps I can find you in my heart, O, Goddess of heart

You're the heart of Mecca, O, my Goddess

You're the only one for me and for my heart

That shiny look of yours, if accepted,

Became the light of everyone's soul in the home of the heart

To every home of the heart I travelled with joy

The air of my heart was awaiting the smell of

your body's perfume

O, my everlasting kindness and my Goddess of eternity

Is there anyone but you, the problemsolver of my heart?

If we are from the dust and the dust is from us

Our world has become bright by your brightness

Every soul, rock and soil that you opened

Indicated the inner secret and the inner secret of the heart

We are circling in the universe

In the circle of kindness and away from the unfaithfulness

of the heart

My soul's root is tangled by your love

My growing will be in the space of your heart

When "Parnia" asked the lover about the heart

She became acquainted with your remembrance and your heart

AMBASSADOR OF LOVE

Give us a smile to lighten our life

Give us a cup to drink

Your bewitched look sings about love

Begin to speak, love, to seduce us

Promise us love and wine so we will not be alone

Until this drunken love satisfies us

From the warmth of your look a home is built

Lucky the one who finds us

Enlarge our heart as big as the sea

Your roaring wave gives us life

You broke your promise to me but you're not afraid to be alone

Loneliness brings misfortune, it burns us

The ambassador of love comes beating on the drums of scandal

No more fear, "Parnia," it may disgrace us

BLACK EYES

Words pour out of your mouth like wine

They will turn a sober man into a drunkard

The melody of your voice gives me life

Will make me vibrate like water

Those black eyes look suspicious

They excite our souls

In the passage of a breeze, like silk

Your warm voice is felt as in a dream

The mist of a flower is in your eyes

The sun shines by your words

Like narcissus I'm fulfilled by your love

I'm drunk by your eyes, not the wine

I'm alive by the love of your face

"Parnia" has found the secret of youth
