“Tobah”- توبه

Uncategorized 1 Minute
Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Rough Translation: “I’m now going to atone and repent for all those nights of longing after her. I’ll atone and repent for the burning love desire I had, and for the envy and jealousy it stoked on the part of all the others. I’ll atone and repent for all the tears, for the broken heart I suffered from, for taking the abuse from all these beautiful women, for the grief and pain that lingers from a buried or unfulfilled desire or wish, and from the anxiety and pressure and strain and stress that petty dreams and pursuits can put on someone. I should have been much smarter and wiser than that. After all, none of them know about the pain that comes from longing like I do. They don’t know what love really is, nor do they have the fire kindled inside of their soul like I do. They haven’t experienced the pain of longing like I have. They don’t know what I know, and they haven’t experienced what I’ve experienced. Love is pain and suffering, both day and night. None of you have a clue, but love has the power to drag the whole world into anarchy and bloodshed. But of course, you have to see to believe. And none of you have seen or experienced what I’ve seen and experienced. That’s the thing. Seeing is believing, as they say. You won’t believe anything until you actually see it for yourself. You can hear about it from me and listen like you have all this time. But it’s nothing like the influence and impact of seeing and experiencing it for yourself.”
