chize ki guzasht-o-raft yaadash sitam ast
chīze ki guzasht-o-raft yādash sitam ast
saudāst ki sarmāya-e-ū ranj-o-ġham ast
iiñ 'umr-e-girāmī ba-'abas sarf ma-kun
besh az nafase ma-gīr bisyār kam ast
It’s atrocious to remember a thing that is past ;
It is a bargain which yields sorrow and grief.
Waste not this dear life of yours,
Take it not for more than a moment ; it’s too short.
chize ki guzasht-o-raft yaadash sitam ast
saudast ki sarmaya-e-u ranj-o-gham ast
in 'umr-e-girami ba-'abas sarf ma-kun
besh az nafase ma-gir bisyar kam ast
It’s atrocious to remember a thing that is past ;
It is a bargain which yields sorrow and grief.
Waste not this dear life of yours,
Take it not for more than a moment ; it’s too short.
