Online broadcast of Shokr o Shekayat private performance:
I am grateful and complaining about my affectionate love
If you are a connoisseur of love, listen to this story
Every service I did was without pay and favor
O Lord, may no one be a master without grace
No one gives water to the thirsty libertines
It is as if the connoisseurs of saints have left this land
O heart, do not get entangled in her lasso-like tresses, for there
You will see heads cut off without crime or sin
Your eye drank our blood with coquetry and you like it
O beloved, it is not right to support the bloodshedder
Wherever I went, nothing but dread increased
Beware of this desert and this endless path
In this dark night, the way to the destination is lost
Come out from a corner, O guiding star
O sun of the beautiful ones, my inside is boiling
Come out from a corner, O guiding star
*******
When I put my hand on her tress, she gets angry
And if I seek peace, she goes into reproach
The night of wine makes me ruined with wakefulness
And if I complain during the day, it goes to sleep
The way of love is full of turmoil and strife, O heart
He will fall who goes on this path in haste
O heart, when you become old, do not sell beauty and delicacy
For this transaction goes on in the world of youth
*******
Play a tune that can strike a sigh on its instrument
Read a poem that can strike a heavy cup with it
Your tress became the highway robber of safety, and this is not strange
If you are a highway robber, one can strike a hundred caravans
The dervish does not have the means for the Sultan’s palace
We have an old cloak that one can set fire to
