Excellent Mersiya on Janabe Zahra (sa) - Text And Video
آی کبوتر که نشستی روی گنبد طلا
Oh the pigeons that sit on the gold dome
هرکجا پرمیکشی تو حرم امام رضا
Everywhere you fly and you flap your wings you're in the haram of Imam Reza
من کبوتر بقیع ام با تو خیلی فرق دارم
I am the pigeon of Baqi', there's a big difference between us
جای گنبد سرمو به روی خاکا میذارم
Instead of a dome, I rest on the dirt
خونه قشنگ تو کجا و این خونه کجا
My house doesn't even compare to your beautiful house
گنبد طلا کجا قبرای ویرونه کجا
The Golden dome is incomparable to the destroyed graves
اونجا هرکی میپره طائر افلاکی میشه
Over there, whoever flaps their wings, they become heavenly
تو بقیع بال وپر کبوترا خاکی میشه
In Baqi, the wings and feathers of the pigeon become dusty/dirty
اون جا خادما با زائر آقا مهربونن
Over there the volunteers at the haram treat the visitors with respect
اینجا زائرا رو از کنار قبرا میرونن
Over here the visitors have to just sneak by the side of the graves
تو که هرشب میسوزه صدتا چراغ دور وبرت
Every night 100s of lights shine around you and on you.
به امام رضا بگو غریب تویی یا مادرت؟
Now, go ask Imam Reza, are you the one who's ghareeb (exiled to a foreign land) or is your mother?
