Transcript of Ay Chehra (Man Tu Shudam)- A Persian Poem by Ameer Khusro

  • Ay chehra-e zeba-e tu rashk-e butan-e Azari;

    Har chand wasfat mikunam dar husn-az-aan zebatari.

    Aafaq ra gar deedah am mehr-e butan warzeedah am;

    Bisyar khuban deedah am lekin tu cheez-e degari.

    Man tu shudam, tu man shudi, man tan shudam, tu jan shudi;

    Taakas nagoyad baad azeen man deegaram tu deegari.

    Khusrau ghareeb ast-o gada uftadah dar shehr-e shuma;

    Baashad ki az behr-e khuda, su-e ghareeban bangari.

    O you whose beautiful face is the envy of the idols of Azar

    (Abraham's father and famous idol maker);

    You remain superior to my praise.

    All over the world have I traveled;

    Many a maidens love have I tasted;

    Many a beauty-star have I seen; but you are something unique.

    I have become you, and you me; I have become the body,

    You the soul; So that none hereafter may say

    That I am someone and you someone else.

    Khusro a beggar, a stranger has come wandering to your town;

    For the sake of god, have pity on this beggar

    And do not turn him away from your door.
