Lyris & Translation
SABZA BA NAZ (The Triumph of Love) Language- Dari and Farsi
Ala yar jaan chera rangat khazanast
Nakhor ghose khodavand mehrabanast
Miyane ma vo to ahdo neshanast
Ala yar jan khatar darad jodai

Oh why my love do you look withered
Don’t be troubled for the beloved is kind
Between you and me there is a bond and faith
The only danger is in our seperation

Sabza ba naz miyayad mahrame raz miyayad
Sabza ba naz miyayad mahrame raz miyayad
Az dele por dardam beshno
Del be niyaz miyayad

The world will be green with abundance again
The keeper of faith will arrive
Listen to a heart that has seen its share of pain
The heart will reach its goal

Bia ke sine ra sahra besazim
Bia ke didera darya besazim
Bia ta bastari az par besazim
Yeki khane ze eshq az sar besazim

Come, let your heart become as empty as a desert
Come, let our eyes see beyond the expanse of the sea
Come, let us build a home from divine feathers
One home built from nothing but love

Derakhte gham be janam karde rishe
Be daghe khoda minalam hamishe
Rafighan ghadre yek digar bedanid
Ajal sang ast o adam mesle shishe

The pain of longing has taken root in my life
My cries of pain are endless
Friends, know the value of one another
For life is a stone and man is as fragile as glass
