Open the Door
Rana Farhan Lyrics

پیشکشی کن دو سه جامی دگر
هین که رسیدیم به نزدیک ده
همره ما شو دو سه گامی دگر
هین هله چونی تو ز راه دراز
هر قدمی غصه و دامی دگر
بر تو و برگرد تو هر کس که هست
دم به دم از عرش سلامی دگر
بسته بدی تو در و بام سرا
آمدت آن حکم ز بامی دگر
ای ز تو صد کام دلم یافته
میطلبد دل ز تو کامی دگر
هر سحری سر نهدت آفتاب
گوید بپذیر غلامی دگر
بعد شدن هست تمامی دگر
- مولانا
The lyrics to Rana Farhan's song "Open the Door" can be interpreted as a call to action to let go of the past and embrace new beginnings. The opening line translates to "Open the wardrobe of emptiness, make a offering with a different glass". This could allude to letting go of our materialistic desires and making a symbolic offering to the universe, perhaps in the form of a toast with a different glass. The second line urges the listener to join the singer and take a few steps forward, in order to move towards a new phase in life.
The next few lines emphasize the challenges and obstacles that we might face along the way. Every step might bring with it new troubles and snares, but we are encouraged to keep going and not lose hope. The verse "come and go around, whoever it might be" seems to suggest that we should be open to meeting new people and forming new connections, even if they are vastly different from our usual circle of friends.
The final lines of the song speak of the inevitability of change and the transient nature of existence. Each sunrise brings with it a new day, and we must be willing to accept our destiny as mere mortals. The reference to the "Lord's greeting from his throne" could allude to a higher power or divine intervention in life's journey.
