ای آنکه چو آفتاب فرداست بیابیرون تو برگ و باغ زرد است بیا
عالم بیتو غبار و گرد است بیااین مجلس عیش بیتو سرد است بیا
Description:
O One who is like the sun of tomorrow, come
Without you, the garden and its leaves are yellow
The world is full of dust and dirt without you
This gathering of joy is cold without you
O One who is like the sun of tomorrow, come": This line addresses a beloved, comparing them to the rising sun.
Without you, the garden and its leaves are yellow": This line creates a vivid image of a lifeless, colorless world without the presence of the beloved.
The world is full of dust and dirt without you": This line continues the theme of the world's lack of vitality without the beloved.
This gathering of joy is cold without you": This line suggests that any celebration or joy is incomplete without the presence of the beloved.
A more poetic translation might be:
Come, like tomorrow's sun, dispel the night,
Without your light, all's dreary, pale, and white.
The world, a dusty place, devoid of cheer,
This feast of joy is cold without you here.
