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.
