Where else should I go?

  بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

تُو کَریمِ مُطلَق و مَن گَدا،

چِه کُنی جُز این‌کِه بِخوانی‌اَم؟

دَرِ دیگَری بِنُما کِه مَن

بِه کُجا رَوَم چُو بِرانی‌اَم؟

 

Meaning:

You are the Epitome of Generosity and I am a beggar 

What else can You do but invite me to Your door?

Or show me another door that I can head for

That I can go to, if you shoo me away 

 

  

Language:

Persian/Farsi

BKuja Rawam Choon Barani Am
