Three "do baytee"s and a "ruba'i" (Persian text with translation and transliteration)

Text:

​

ندانم کیستم چونم چرایم

ندانم از چه در گیتی به پایم

شدم از هیچ و آخر می‌شوم هیچ

همی دانم که آگه می‌نیایم

..................................................................................

خدا خاموش و جان من پر از جوش

ندارد پاسخم نی عقل و نی هوش

نیاسایم دمی تا آن گهی که

بگیرد خاک گور این تن در آغوش

..................................................................................

سرآمد روزگار سادگی ها

به پایان آمد آن دلدادگی ها

بیامد زهر و شهد از زندگی رفت

گذشت آن دوره آزادگی ها

..................................................................................

دانی چه همی گفت صراحی چو گریست

بی باده مرا سینه تهی بودن چیست

عمری است که هر روز در این مانده شگفت

تا دست بر این گردن من زین پس کیست

..................................................................................

​

Transliteration:

​

Nadānam kēstam choonam cherāyam

Nadānam az che dar gētē be pāyam

shodam az hēch o akhar mēshavam hēch

hamē dānam ke āgah mē nayāyam

..................................................................................

khodā khāmoosh o jān e man por az joosh

nadārad pāsokham nē 'aghl o nē hoosh

nayāsāyam damē tā ān gahē ke

begērad khāk e goor ēn tan dar āghoosh

..................................................................................

sar āmad roozegār e sādegē hā

be pāyān āmad ān deldādegē hā

biyāmad zahr o shahd az zendegē raft

gozasht ān doare ye āzādegē hā

..................................................................................

dānē che hamē goft sorāhi cho gerēst

bē bāde marā sēne tohē boodan chēst

'omrēst ke har rooz dar ēn mānde shegeft

tā dast bar ēn gardan e man zēn pas kēst

..................................................................................

Translation:

​

I know not who or what or why I am

I know not why I stand in the world

I became of nothing and will become nothing in the end

And I know I will not become aware [of why]

..................................................................................

God js silent and my life/soul is boiling

Neither thought nor intelligence have my answer

I will not rest until the moment

That the soil of the grave embraces this body

..................................................................................

To end came the simple times

To end came the givings of heart (love/obsession)

Came poison, and honey left the life

Passed has that time of liberties

..................................................................................

Do you know what did the wine bottle say when it cried in tears?

What is the purpose of me being, with an empty chest, devoid of wine?

For a lifetime I have wondered everyday

Who is the next man to has his hand over my neck?

..................................................................................

​

Note: The first three were do baytees

The rhythm is: dudum dum dum dudum dum dum dudum dum

The last is a ruba'i

The rhythm is: dum dum dududum dum dududum dum dududum
