    Lyrics: Sohraab Sepehri (one of Iran's famous poets of free verse)
    This is one of Sepehri's most read poems:

    Khaane-ye doost kojaa-st? (x3)----------------------------------- where is friend's house?
    Dar falagh bood ke porsid savaar-------------------------------- it was in the dawn that asked the horseman
    Aaseman maksi kard ----------------------------------------------- the sky paused
    Rahgozar shaakhe-ye noori ke lab daasht -------------------- the passer dedicated a branch of light which was holding by his lips
    Be taariki-ye shen-haa bakhshid -------------------------------- to the darkness of the sands
    Va be angosht neshaan daad ------------------------------------ and pointed with his finger
    Sepidaari o goft------------------------------------------------------ to a poplar and told
    Nareside be derakht ----------------------------------------------- near that tree
    Kooche baaghi-st---------------------------------------------------- there is a garden lane
    Ke az khaab-e khodaa sabztar ast ------------------------------ which is greener than God's dream
    Va dar aan eshgh---------------------------------------------------- and in it love
    Va dar aan eshgh---------------------------------------------------- and in it love
    Be andaaze-ye par-haa-ye sedaahgat aabi-st--------------- is as blue as honesty's feathers

    Khaane-ye doost kojaa-st? (x3)----------------------------------- where is friend's house?

    Miravi az posht-e aan kooche ------------------------------------ you go to the back of that alley
    Ke az posht-e boloogh sar be dar mi aarad-------------------- which leads up to the back of puberty
    Pas be samt-e gol-e tanhayi mipichi ---------------------------- then you turn to a lonely flower
    Do ghadam maande be gol---------------------------------------- two steps to the flower
    Paa-ye favvareye jaavid-e asaatir-e zamin mimaani ------- you stay at the bottom of the immortal fountain of earth's mythology
    Va to raa tarsi shaffaf faraa migirad ---------------------------- and a clear fear haunts you

    Khaane-ye doost kojaa-st? ---------------------------------------- where is friend's house?

    [The rest of the poem which is omitted from the song:]
    Dar samimiyat-e sayyal-e fazaa --------------------------------------- in the area's fluid intimacy
    Khesh khesh-i mishenavi --------------------------------------------- you hear a rustle
    Koodak-i mibini ---------------------------------------------------------- you see a child
    Rafte az kaaj-e bolandi baalaa --------------------------------------- who has climbed a tall pine
    Juje bardarad az laane-ye noor --------------------------------------- to take a chick from light's nest
    Va az oo miporsi ----------------------------------------------------------- and you ask him:
    Khaane-ye doost kojaa-st? ---------------------------------------- where is friend's house?
