A question for the fresh spring breeze:
What is the garden going through
that makes the bulbul sing
so restlessly.

Compared to your ravishing countenance,
the beauty of a flower pales
Amongst flowers in the garden,
you are like a flower amidst bramble bush.

Oh, treasure of remedies,
look kindly upon the ailing
The cure is in your hands
and you leave us be.

Another life is needed,
for time was spent
in this one
in hopefulness.

Poetry: Sa'di
Music: Mohsen Namjoo
Recorded by Saeed Ganji, Winter of 2006, Damavand, Iran.
