[Virtual Afghans]

Sahar jan,
thanks for posting this.. I dont know how it got stuck under all the other posts.

bâ yar ba golzar shodam rahgozari
bar gul nazari fegandam az be-khabari

deldar ba man goft ke sharmet bada
rukhsar-e man enja o tu bar gul negari


I went strolling with my beloved in a rose garden.
And from lack of awareness, I cast a glance upon a rose.
That beloved said to me, "May you be ashamed,
For my cheeks are here and you are looking at roses!"

~ Translater, Ibrahim Gamard
