“Ay Qawme Ba Haj Rafta” – ای قوم بحج رفته

Original Artist: Ahmad Zahir. Poem: Rumi. Rough Translation: “Those who go abroad to the Holy Land for some good feeling and supposed love from God, just know that everything you’re looking for and seeking can be found in the Beloved right here at home. And the Beloved is closer to you than you actually think. Your focus is on wastelands and shithole countries abroad. What’s the matter with you all? What the hell has gotten into you people? And beyond your vengeance and retribution is me seeking a date and a rendezvous with the Beloved, ideally in the comfort of her own home. Polish and refine your preferences and taste. That would be a good start.”
