INTRODUCTION
Farhad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

شمهای از داستان عشق شورانگیز ماست
این حکایت ها که از فرهاد و شیرین کردهاند

هیچ مژگان دراز و عشوهٔ جادو نکرد
آنچه آن زلف دراز و خال مشکین کردهاند

ساقیا می ده که با حکم ازل تدبیر نیست
قابل تغییر نبود آنچه تعیین کردهاند

در سفالین کاسهٔ رندان به خواری منگرید
کاین حریفان خدمت جام جهانبین کردهاند

نکهت جانبخش دارد خاک کوی دلبران
عارفان آنجا مشام عقل مشکین کردهاند

ساقیا دیوانهای چون من کجا دربر کشد
دختر رز را که نقد عقل کابین کردهاند

خاکیان بیبهرهاند از جرعهٔ کاس الکرام
این تطاول بین که با عشاق مسکین کردهاند





شهپر زاغ و زغن زیبا صید و قید نیست
این کرامت همره شهباز و شاهین کردهاند

Overall Meaning

The first verse of "Introduction" by Farhad pays homage to the romantic story of Farhad and Shirin, with the imagery of "shamha," or candle flames, representing the passion between the two lovers. The second verse refers to the power of beauty, as Farhad's long hair and Shirin's beauty have enchanted those around them. The third verse speaks to the idea of destiny, with the line "with the command of fate, there is no planning," implying that everything is predetermined.


The fourth verse addresses the idea of hospitality and generosity, with the request for the cupbearer to pour wine for the guests at the "jame jahanbin," or world-seeing cup. The fifth verse talks of the spiritual significance of a lover's lane, where the masters of spirituality have left behind their wisdom. The sixth verse acknowledges the idea of madness in love, with the question of how a crazed person like the singer could possibly be contained. The final verse celebrates the beauty of nature and its creatures, where the beauty of the birds can be enjoyed without the burden of captivity.
