Iqbal Bano sings Nizami Ganjavi-Mara ba ghamza… by razarumi1
Mara ba ghamza kusht o qaza ra bahana sakht
Khud sooy e ma na deed o haya ra bahana sakht
Zahid na dasht tab e jamal e pari rukhan
Kunji girift o yad-e-khuda ra bahana sakht
Raftam ba masjidi ke babinam jamal-e dost
Dasti ba rukh kashid-o-dua ra bahana sakht
Daste ba dosh-e ghair nihade bar-e karam(Az-reh Karam))
Mara chun deed laghzish e pa ra bahana sakht
by Nizami Ganjavi: Persian Sufi poet, 1141-1209
