My list of Farsi songs for Hindi speakers
Hello! A language and culture enthusiast here. I love following articles on etymology, especially between Farsi, Hindi, Sanskrit and Avestan. Coincidently, I have many friends from Afghanistan and Iran, making it a bit easier to dig into the cultures and languages on daily basis. I have two GitHub repositories digging common words between 1) Hindi and Farsi, and 2) Sanskrit and Avestan. Two languages can only share these many words only when people from these cultures have lived around each other for a considerable amount of time. All this led me to take more interest in Farsi, and I grew around these songs and their words. I list some of the Farsi songs I like along with their lyrics transliteration (The lyrics were taken from https://lyricstranslate.com/). Did you find the common words between Hindi and Farsi? Then leave them in the comments. If you did not find your favourite Farsi song, feel free to suggest it in the comments. ;)

2. Sarzameen-e-man by Andalib and Surosh 🇦🇫
Found this cute duo while reading about the history of Afghanistan and immediately fell in love with the chemistry and the kind of songs they chose to sing. Sarzameen-e-man is an emotional song for Afghanistan, and the duo gives it a modern twist with their style.
bey aashiana gashtam, khana ba khana gashta
bey tu hamisha baa gham shana ba shana gashtam
Ishqe yagaanae man, az tu nishaanae man
bey tu namak nadarad sha’ro taraanae man
Sarzamine man, khasta khasta az jafaayee
sarzamaine man be soroodo bey sadaaye
sarzamine man dard mande be dawaayee
sarzamine man…..
sarzamine man key ghame tura sorooda
sarzamine man key rahe tura goshooda
sarzamine man key ba tu wafaa namooda
3. Hakeman by Mojgan Azimi 🇦🇫
Suggested by someone who has been advocating for the freedom of Iran and Afghanistan. The lyrics were taken from here. Feel free to correct the lyrics.
Che kardand baa nam e khodaa che kardand baa jaane bashar
Che kardand ke tamaman shoda ast zindagi wahem o khatar
Che kardand baa zehne shoma beshostan afkaare shoma
Sad hadis o gape bejaa goftan hama az qawle khodaa
Omeretaan raft paye hoore o zanane lakhte jannat bodi
Wa rahyat maandi hakemaane shahretaan tel o telaa mebordand
Hay namaaz mekhwaandi hai duah mekardi
Jaye andisha o farqe saretaan jang o shahaadat kardand taa ke bawar kardi
Hakemaane shahretaan kaasa e khoon mekhordand
Hay namaaz mekhwaandi hai duah mekardi
Goore kandi beagel baa zehne mariz rahbare shod be baak
Wa khazaana labrez az pool o almaas
Kaash in ast ke jawanaane watan raa bekonad chaal dar khaak
Qaaziaan tarsnaak ba shakle ajib
Gharqa dar rish o pashem
Na ghoroobe tars ast dar keshwar
Ba tolohe az khashem
Omeretaan raft paye hoore o zanane lakhte jannat bodi
Wa rahyat maandi hakemaane shahretaan tel o telaa mebordand
Hay namaaz mekhwaandi hai duah mekardi
Jaye andisha o farqe saretaan jang o shahaadat kardand taa ke bawar kardi
Hakemaane shahretaan kaasa e khoon mekhordand
Hay namaaz mekhwaandi hai duah mekardi

6. Khooneye maa by Marjan Farsad 🇮🇷🦁🌞
I cannot recall how I came across this song. It was probably a connection on Reddit that pointed me to this beautiful artist and since then I have loved all her songs.

8. Bache Kabul by Aryana 🇦🇫
Heard it for the first time in the song of F1rstman and Hosai here.
Sheeren yaare darum yaare baa wafa, en dil ba khud mebara ba yak negah
Mekhayum umram ba o yakja begzara, waqte mebenum esh halem behtara (2x)
Do cheshm -e- aahoo dara, labkhand esh jadoo dara,
e bacha shahr e kabul, baa en dil baazi dara, (2x)
Asheq shudum sar -e- yaar, az ashuqi dil awgaar
En darde dil dawa esh, hasta da peshak e yaar (2x)
Do cheshm -e- aahoo dara, labkhand esh jadoo dara,
e bacha shahr e kabul, baa en dil baazi dara, (2x)
Dar baam e dil neshasta, khoshbotar az gul asta
Dar en rooz hye tareek, o noor e kabul asta, (2x)
Do cheshm aahoo dara. E bacha e shahr e kabul.
Do cheshm e aahoo dara, labkhand esh jaddo dara
e bacha e shahr e kabul, ba en dil baazi dara
9. Saqiya mara darya by Andalib and Sorush (original by Ahmad Zahir) 🇦🇫
YouTube suggested Andalib’s Hindi singing videos to me, and after listening to one of her Hindi covers, I began listening to her Dari songs.
Sagiya mara daryab, pur kon az wafa jamam
Mastam imshab az gham ha, may nakhorda bad namam
Touba am madeh zahed.
digar az may o masti
Faregh az hesabam kon, ghafel az sar anjamam
Shayad ore ein hasti, choon wafaye o bashad
Sagharam tuhi mand, beshkanad falak jamam
Man ze bime raswaye, gerya mekonam dar dil
Mekoshad mara aakher, khandahaye aramam
Magzar in chonin az man ay tu qeblagahe dil
Ay tamam omid-am ay khudaye eltafam
10. Bibi sanam janam by Zeb and Haniya 🇵🇰
Heard it back in 2012 when I had barely crossed teenage. Thanks to the magic of coke studio.
bibi sanam jaanam, anaar-i seestaanam
bah darwaaza-i taaj-qurghaan jaa-i sanam jaanam
kase harf-i dil-i ma ra nadaanist
bahaa- i mahfil-i ma ra nadaanist
bajuz toofaan kase dar shahr-i ghurbat
nishaan-i mahfil-i ma ra nadaanist
bibi sanam jaanam, anaar-i seestaanam
bah darwaaza-i taaj-qurghaan jaa-i sanam jaanam
dil-i naazuk tar az andesha daaram
hawaa-i mu’tadil chun resha daaram
hama gulhaa-i aalaam gar bekhushkad
tu dar baagh-i khayaalam resha daree
bibi sanam jaanam, anaar-i seestaanam
bah darwaaza-i taaj-qurghaan jaa-i sanam jaanam
11. Ba yaadam asti by Adnan Sami 🇮🇳
One of the first songs from an Indian singer that is in Farsi.
12. Baaran toee by Chaartaar 🇮🇷🦁🌞
An Iranian friend from Germany suggested it on a random day while waiting to go for an Iranian party.
Az āsemān mātam bebārad
Harāse bi-to māndanam edāme dārad
Neminevisam tarāne bi-to
Chegune par keshad khiāle vāzhe bi-to
Be lab reside jān, kojā’i?
kojā’i?
ke borde tāghatam jodā’i
Bārān to’i
Be khāke man bezan
Bāz-ā bebin
ke bi mahe to man, havāye par zadan nadāram
Bārān to’i
Be khāke man bezan
Bāz-ā bebin
ke dar rahe to man, nafas-boride dar gozāram
Magar nadāni, cho az to duram
Bi-rāhe’i khamush o tār o bi-oburam
Nemitavānam degar beruyam
ke man asire in khazāne tu-be-tuyam
Be lab reside jān, kojā’i?
kojā’i?
ke borde tāghatam jodā’i
Bārān to’i
Be khāke man bezan
Bāz-ā bebin
ke bi mahe to man, havāye par zadan nadāram
Bārān to’i
Be khāke man bezan
Bāz-ā bebin
ke dar rahe to man, nafas-boride dar gozāram
13. Behet ghol midam by Mohsen Yeganeh 🇮🇷🦁🌞
khodet mikhaay beri khaatere shi amaa delet misooze

behet ghol midam sakht nist laa-aghal baraaye to
raahat baash dooram az to o donyaaye to

Mikhaay man baashi o yaadet bere maayee vojood daare
khodet aamaadeye raftaniyo tarset nemizaare
