Poem of Hâtef-e Esfahâni, Music of unknown author The following text includes: 1. The phonetic transcription of the persian words, 2. Their literal translation, 3. Their semantic translation. (all made by Ostâd Hossein Omoumi, his website is http://www.omoumi.com) DARÂMAD Che shavad be chehreh-ye zard -e man nazari barâ-ye khodâ koni What becomes toward face of yellow of me look a sake of God you do If, for God's sake, you looked at my love-sick/sickly face, what would happen?

3 POEM TRANSLATION: If for God's sake you looked at my love-sick face, what would happen? If you looked in a single glance you'd heal all my pain. You are a king and yours the country of the soul. You are the moon and yours the world's demesne. What would it hurt you to look generously on a beggar's state? Your *bow is drawn and your *arrow in ambush waits to strike me and I am grieved. All my anguish stems from this: God forbid that you should miss. God forbid that you should miss.

* Bow and arrow are metaphors here for eyebrow and eyelashes. The source for this transcription is a recording of one of Mr. Omoumi's Radif lessons. The notation is very simple, without any ornaments; all grace notes, slurs, etc. have been ommited in order to leave nothing but the main melody. This is not an exact transcription of Hossein Omoumi's performance, although he always insists on keeping the melodies as nude as one can, until one really knows Persian Classical Music ornaments rules. That's the work that's been done here, so that any musician can refer to it and add its proper ornaments at will, even though this version requires very few of them. Transcription made by P. Duka with the open source musical notation software 'Lilypond' version 2.12.2 (http://lilypond.org/web/).
