Sonbol Taefi - Heavenly garden - باغ الهی - سنبل طائفی

Words: Mohammad Ali Salmani, Music: Farahsheed Golbarani
Produced by Sonbol Taefi, EchoMusic New Zealand

Translation of the words:
A nightingale, having had its nest in heaven
could never turn away from the rose
and knows nothing of the thorn

Immersed in the sea of His love
true seeker doesn't look to the shore
embracing the waves, she/he repels the shoreline

She/he laughs at times, cries at times
endures at times, weeps at times
In wonderment and song,
she looks to her beloved

Lost in the beauty of the sun
one does not look to darkness
One who is in love
can only see the beloved

One who seeks your path
is detached from life
your association the goal
she/he gives in to your will

Oh how beautiful the condition,
how amazing is the feeling
of this mystical garden
its earth is made of passion and fire
its flowers ablazed from heat of love
it's clouds, just rain as if to inspire the flames of longing

A nightingale,
having had its nest in this mystical garden!
could not turn away from the rose
It cries at times, laughs at times
endures at times, weeps at times
In wonderment and song,
It looks to it's beloved
