I made a thousand efforts, I broke a thousand cups of wine. My heart, in search of the Beloved, closed a thousand paths. I tried a thousand times, I tied up a thousand caravans. My heart, in the path of your hair, I shattered a thousand tents. A thousand roads I traveled, a thousand tricks I played. You were not by my side, I broke a thousand hearts. I bought a thousand swords, I beheaded a thousand heads. You could never understand, a thousand bloodstains are in my hands. A thousand nights I did not sleep, a thousand days I was lost in sleep. From the roof of heart and your love, a thousand times I have leapt. A thousand provisions I took, a thousand roads I walked. Do you not know who I am? I am a thousand forms of love. A thousand times I was freed, a thousand hearts I shattered. In the trap of your lips and ruby mouth, a thousand times I escaped. A thousand schemes I made, a thousand traps I set. I am the one who is “Alast,” a thousand visions I hold. Lyrics and Vocal by Matthew Dara هِزار جَهد بِکَردم هِزار باده شکستم دل اَندَر طلب یار هِزار راه که بَستم هِزار سعی بِکَردم هِزار قافله بستم دل اَندَر ره زُلفت هِزار خیمه شکستم هِزار راه که رفتم هِزار حیله که کردم تو نبودی به کنارم هِزار دل که شکستم هِزار تیغ خریدم هِزار سَر که بریدم تو نشاید که بیابی هِزار خون که بدستم هِزار شب که نخوابم هِزار روز که خوابم ز بام دل و عشقت هِزار بار که پریدم هِزار توشه گرفتم هِزار راه که رفتم تو ندانیکه که هستم؟ هِزار صورت عِشقَم هِزار بار که رَستم هِزار دل که شِکَستم به دام لَب و لَعلَت هِزار بار که جَستم هِزار مَکر که کردم هِزار دام که بَستَم من هَمانم که اَلَستَم هِزار دیده به دَستَم شعر از متیو دارا Lyrics and Vocal by Matthew Dara
