Lyrics of Yari Andar Kas Nemibinam Ahmad Shamloo In English

I dont see any

friends around, whatever happened to every friend?
I see no-one I love, when did come to an end? The

water of the animal has turned dark

, where is the glorious Elias?
Flowers are all bleeding, whence the breeze which branches bend?



Thousands of flowers are in full bloom, yet not a song
What happened to nightingales? Where did those thousands descend?

For years, no

gem has been dug from the mine of loyalty
, what happened to sunshine? And what about wind and rain’s trend?

Venus is

not making music any more, did all her instruments burn
?Nobody is in the mood, to whom do the wine-sellers tend?



Nobody says that a friend has got the right to befriend
What has come of loyalty? Whatever happened to every friend? This



was the home of the Kings, and the land of the Kind-hearted
When did kindness end, and since when Kings pretend?
The


ball of compassion and joy is now inside the field
Why is it that in this game still no players will attend?
The
keeper of divine secrets, no one knows, silently,
from whom you ask what happened around the days
, Hafiz, secrets divine nobody knows, stay silent
Whom do you ask, why isnt our turning fate now on the mend?
