The Lyrics of the Song :

بگو ای بزرگ خانه
همه گفتن ترانه
بگو ای جفت سلیمان
منم آن هدهد نالان

بگو ای کتاب بسته
صوفی چله نشسته
ای جدا مانده ز یاران
ابر آمادهء باران

بگو ای خط نخوانده
پای از پای نمانده
نفسم بسته به حرفت
همه پیوسته به حرفت

بگو ای مرد به خانه برکت ده
به تن قافله شوق حرکت ده

بگو ای مرد به مرد به خانه برکت ده
به تن قافله شوق حرکت ده
ای شبان حرف بزن حرف بزن
گله پراکنده شده
بره در خوابگه گرگ پناهنده شده

پشت این ساکتی یک دنیا هیاهو
بگو حرفات همه حقه همه یاهو
بگو حرفات همه حقه همه یاهو

(1) Solomon and Hod Hod's story apparently initiates in Quran and we see many allusions to it in Persian poetry such as Molana's Masnavi and Attar's Manteghotteir. here, most probably it refers to Attar's story in which a group of birds (30 birds) start a travel to reach Simurgh and in the end thy find out that their unity is the real simurgh. in persian 30 is pronounced "Si" and birds "Murgh" now Simurgh is Si+Murgh

(2) Chelle neshin: it means a person who attends ceremonial seclusion for forty days in prayer and mortification. (usually done by the sufies and ascetics)
