Persian Love Song

Migan asbet rafighe rooze jange

Mo migooyom azoo behtar tofange

Svaare bi tofang ghodrat nadaare

Svaar vaghti tofang daare svaare

Tofange daste noghream raa forookhtam

Baraaye del ghabaaye terme dookhtam

Ferestaadom baraayom pas ferestaad

Tofange daste noghream daad-o-bidaad

They say your charger is your pal on the day of battle

I say even better is the gun

A cavalryman without a gun is without vigour

A cavalryman is one when he has got a gun

I sold my silver stock gun

Sewed a termeh frock for my love

She returned it to me when I sent her the frock

Oh alas my silver stock gun
