about

A recital by my talented Iranian-Australian friend Zeinab Yazdanfar

lyrics

English translation by Dick Davis:

In purdah, and unseen by anyone,
He has a daughter lovelier than the sun
Lashes like ravens’ wings protect a pair
Of eyes like narcissi hidden there;
If you would seek the moon, it is her face;
If you seek musk, her hair’s its hiding place.
She is a paradise, arrayed in splendor,
Glorious, graceful, elegantly slender.

From 'Shahnameh - the Persian Book of Kings', by Abolquasem Ferdowski’.
