“Agar Penhan Buwad Paida” – اگر پنهان بود پیدا

Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Rough Translation: “If what is obvious and manifest is hidden and kept secret, I am that hidden and kept secret that is obvious and manifest. I am an obvious and open secret. And if the so-called educated and sophisticated ones are idiots and imbeciles, which they are, I am on the other hand an idiot and an imbecile that is highly educated and sophisticated. But I am also a mythical or mystical creature that belongs in the Garden of Eden. I belong in a garden of pleasure. I don’t belong in their toxic and nasty circles and groups. Nor am I in anyone’s grip or trap. I am a smart and independent and free-minded and free-spirited idiot. And a strategic-minded idiot as well. I am always crazy and drunk off of a higher Dionysian flow and stream. I won’t deny it. I am an idiot. But I’m both an idiot and strategic-minded. I am both love and romance that came down from the sky, and a king in their world of love and romance. I try to appease and accommodate all the beautiful women of this day and age, of this high society of theirs, and at the same time, I bow and give deference to the mystics and saints of our day and age as well. It’s a fine balancing act. It’s complex.”
