Текст и перевод песни Niaz Nawab - Simorgh

Simorgh

ابتدای کار سیمرغ ای عجب
جلوه گر بگذشت بر چین نیم شب

در میان چین فتاد از وی پری
لاجرم پر شور شد هر کشوری

هر کسی نقشی از آن پر برگرفت
هر که دید آن نقش کاری درگرفت

آن پر اکنون در نگارستان چین ست
اطلبو العلم و لو بالصین ازین ست

این همه آثار صنع از فر اوست
جمله انمودار نقش پر اوست

گر نگشتی نقش پر او عیان
این همه غوغا نبودی در جهان
این همه غوغا نبودی در جهان

بعد از آن وادی حیرت آیدت
کار دایم درد و حسرت آیدت

هر نفس اینجا چو تیغی باشدت
هر دمی اینجا دریغی باشدت

آه باشد، درد باشد، سوز هم
روز و شب باشد، نه شب نه روز هم

آه باشد، درد باشد، سوز هم
روز و شب باشد، نه شب نه روز هم

گوید اصلا می ندانم چیز من
وان ندانم هم ندانم نیز من

عاشقم اما ندانم بر کیم
نه مسلمانم نه کافر، پس چیم

لیکن از عشقم ندارم آگهی
هم دلی پرعشق دارم هم تهی
هم دلی پرعشق دارم هم تهی

Simorgh

Oh my dear, how astonishing the beginning of the Simorgh
It miraculously appeared over China in the middle of the night

Its feathers fell down in China
As a result, every country became enraptured

Everyone picked up a piece of that feathered wing
Whoever saw the design began to work on it

That feather is now in the art gallery of China
The saying "Seek knowledge even if it is in China" comes from this

All these wonders of creation are from its grace
All of them are manifestations of the design of its feathers

If the design of its feathers had not become apparent
There would not have been so much commotion in the world
There would not have been so much commotion in the world

Then the valley of bewilderment will come to you
Sorrow and regret will become your constant companions

Every breath here will feel like a sword
Every moment here will be a moment of regret

There will be sighs, there will be pain, and there will be burning
There will be day and night, but it will be neither night nor day

There will be sighs, there will be pain, and there will be burning
There will be day and night, but it will be neither night nor day

I say that I do not know anything about myself
And I do not know that I do not know

I am a lover, but I do not know whom I love
I am neither a Muslim nor an infidel, so what am I?

But I am not aware of my love
I have a heart full of love, but it is also empty
I have a heart full of love, but it is also empty
