Текст и перевод песни Ahmad Zahir - Agar Ze Khalq Malamat

Agar Ze Khalq Malamat

اگر ز خلق ملامت و گر ز کرده ندامت
بدیدم از تو بدیدم
شنیدم از تو شنیدم

چه عهدها که نبستی چه فتنه ها که نکردی
چه رنج ها نکشیدم چه طعنه ها نشنیدم

جوانیم به سمند شتاب می شد و از پی
چو گرد در قدم او دویدم و نرسیدم

وفا نکردی و کردم، به سر نبردی و بردم
ثبات عهد مرا دیدی ای فروغ امیدم

If From People Blame

If from people blame, if from deed regret,
I saw it from you, I saw it.
I heard it from you, I heard it.

What promises you didn't make, what troubles you didn't cause,
What pains I didn't suffer, what taunts I didn't hear.

My youth, like a swift steed, hastened, and after you,
Like dust at your feet, I ran and didn't reach.

You didn't keep faith, but I did; you didn't fight to the end, but I did.
You saw the steadfastness of my promise, oh, light of my hope.
