Cry
Makan Ashgvari Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
شکوه ها ز دست زمانه کردم
ز دید آستین چو برگرفتم
سیل خون به دامن روانه کردم
ناله ی دروغین از سر ندادم
شام ما چو در پی سحر ندارد
مرده بهتر زان کو هنر ندارد
گریه سحر من عاشقانه کردم
چو خم نجوشی چرا؟
برون شد از بعد راز
تو پر بپوشی چرا؟
راز دل همان به نهفته ماند
چو گفته نتوان کرد نگفته ماند
فتنه به که یک چند خفته ماند
گنج دل بر درش خزانه کردم
همچو چشم مستت جهان خراب است
رخ مپوش که دورت پنته خواب است
پس چرا روی توی در حجاب است
من تو را به خوبی نشانه کردم
دلا خموشی چرا؟
چو خم نجوشی چرا؟
برون شد از بعد راز؟
تو پر بپوشی چرا؟
دلا خموشی چرا؟
چو خم نجوشی چرا؟
برون شد از بعد راز
تو پر بپوشی چرا؟
The lyrics to Makan Ashgvari's song Cry tell a story of a person who uses crying as an excuse to mask their pain and misfortunes caused by time. The singer talks about how they raise their sleeves to wipe their tears and ends up revealing the scars on their arms, showing the physical pain they inflict on themselves. They also mention the futility of their cries, as they are not heard by anyone and how it is better to be dead than to not have any skills. In the chorus, they question their own silence and urge their heart to speak up.
The song then moves on to talk about how the world is in ruins, much like the person's state of mind, and asks why they hide their face behind a veil. The singer then tells the person that they have shown them the way to goodness and asks why they keep their secrets and thoughts hidden inside themselves.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of pain, hopelessness, and the struggle to express oneself. The person's cries are a way of coping with their pain but at the same time, it is an indication of their inner turmoil.

گریه را به مستی بهانه کردم
I made drunkenness an excuse for my tears
شکوه ها ز دست زمانه کردم
I lost the glories to time
ز دید آستین چو برگرفتم
When I lifted my sleeve
سیل خون به دامن روانه کردم
I brought a river of blood to my hem
ناله ی دروغین از سر ندادم
I did not utter a false moan
شام ما چو در پی سحر ندارد
Our dinner lacks the magic of dawn
مرده بهتر زان کو هنر ندارد
A dead man is better than one who has no art
گریه سحر من عاشقانه کردم
My morning tears were filled with love
دلا خموشی چرا؟
Why is your heart silent?
چو خم نجوشی چرا؟
Why do you not ferment like wine?
برون شد از بعد راز
The secret has come out
تو پر بپوشی چرا؟
Why do you cover yourself fully?
راز دل همان به نهفته ماند
The secret of the heart remained hidden
چو گفته نتوان کرد نگفته ماند
As what was spoken couldn't be done, it remained unsaid
فتنه به که یک چند خفته ماند
Temptation slept with whom for a while
گنج دل بر درش خزانه کردم
I put the treasure of my heart in its box
همچو چشم مستت جهان خراب است
The world is ruined like your drunken eyes
رخ مپوش که دورت پنته خواب است
Do not hide your face, as your lover's longing is full of passion
پس چرا روی توی در حجاب است
Then why is your face covered with a veil?
من تو را به خوبی نشانه کردم
I showed you well
