Thinking of Motherland on Mother’s Day
Prepared by Art-in-Mind
Yadi Nishtman La Roji Dayek
Nishtmani xoshawistem
Nishtmani jianem
La to durem
Ka nat binem hamoo kati parishanem
Del pashiwem, dardadarem, bi darmanem
Charam chia
Har waku to bi layanem
Bi layani u dagirkraw
Chon atwani aram bebi min rawanem
Mnish dagirkrawi kerday xomam
Bi gomanem, agar chi min ba gomanem
La xaw u la bidari
Biri to gasha dada ba jianem
Xoshawistem
Jiga la to hich welati ba nishteman min nazanem
Dasht u chiat, gul u giat
Min mach dakam ba liwanem
Shaw u roj birm lay toya
Ay tania astiraykai asmanem
Raxnam lit bu boch bendasti
Wetet amin malwiranem
Birem li kird
To bi xatai
Xata mnim, ka dardi to bash nazanem
La to durem, brindarem
Ba bi sarbasti to u ba bi lay to bun
Chon blim magri min ba chawanem
Bi to dunia tarika u roji dawi
Hatawakam kay hal daday
Ka runaki u arami beday ba rawanem
For Motherland on Mother’s Day
Motherland, my love
Motherland, my life
I am away from you
For not seeing you I am in constant turmoil
Turmoil in heart, pain in body, and have no cure
What can I do
Just like you I have no one
You have no one and are occupied
How could I have my peace of mind
Me too, I am occupied by my choices
I have no doubt, despite doubt leading my path
Asleep or awake
Thinking of you warms my life
My love
Except for you I know no other motherland
Your plateaus and highlands, flowers and plants
Are the ones for my lips to touch
Night and day I am thinking of you
Oh, my only star in the sky
I criticized you for your submission flaw
You said look at my ruins
I thought of it
You are flawless
Flaw is me for not knowing your pain
I am away from you, I am wounded
Without your liberty and being with you
How could I tell my eyes not to tear
Without you life is dark and in need of sun
My sun, when do you rise
To brighten me and to calm my mind!
