The Sorrow of This Land ( غم این دیار )



You said

Night

Will not last long

The sun

From behind the high ridge of the mountain

Joyfully

Will rise

The leaden gaze of the sky

Will turn to indigo

And spring

Will birth 

The lily and the violet

 

But you tell me

With the sorrow of this land

,Unwanted

?What should I do

 

You said

The earth

Will seize the impure body

The crimson cheek of the dusk

Will paint the face of dawn

The crystal drops of rain

Will wipe away the dust

From the windows of the city

And the hidden refuge of the beloved

Will open to the lover

 

But you tell me

With the sorrow of this land

,Unwanted

?What should I do

 

You said

The wound of hatred

Will eventually

Tear the chest open

And if the heart breaks

A solace

Must be found

The sound of rain

On the cobblestones of the alley

Will rush to greet us

And the purple blossom

Will find its way

Over the wall to the sky

 

But you tell me

With the sorrow of this land

,Unwanted

?What should I do

 

You said

Even if

There is no tomorrow

Spring can still be seen

In the gaze of the poppy

You can ask

The rain from a spot of cloud

Dress in new clothes

From the thought of you

And sweep

The sorrow

From the house of the soul

 

But tell me

,O sorrow-bearer

What shall the companions

,Of this land

,Unwanted

?Do
