“Man Mast o Tu Dewana” – من مست و تو ديوانه

Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Rough Translation: “I promised and I swore to myself that I’d never get drunk off of love and do stupid shit ever again. Except for tonight, tomorrow, and perhaps every single day and night after that. Yes, I’m crazy, I’m a madman, but you’re dangerous and wild, my love. Who’s gonna take us back and force us back and confine us and contain us to our families and households and children and spouses after this? I told all of you a million times to calm down and take it easy so that things don’t get out of control and out of hand. No one listened. But of course, my beloved actually comes from a city that is known as a ‘madhouse.’ One is worse than the other over there, one seeks to outdo the other in terms of madness and insanity. Let go and let God, my love. I know you’re a socialite where you live, but downsize and minimalize a little bit like I did, and you will enjoy life a little bit more. You will derive more pleasure from it. I promise. Learn from me a little bit. Take my word for it. Think about it: what really is there to life after getting a taste of this stream? What you and I have together tops everything else that is out there.”
