Bibi Sanam Janem by Zeb & Hania

The first episode of third season of Coke Studio Pakistan went on air. Recently, the Coke Studio has claimed a great deal of audience in Pakistan. In the first episode, I happened to listen to Zeb and Hania’s latest song in Farsi (Persian). It was mesmerizing and I simply loved it. From composition to sound effects, specially the violin play was soothing. With a little bit of googling, got hold of the lyrics of the song and felt like sharing with you and I hope you will come to love it too:

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Ba darwazae tajh Quran jayee sanam janem
Your being borders on the divine, my love

(repeat 1 & 2)

Kassi harfe dil-e maa ra nadaanist
What I feel for you, no one is privy to it

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Bahaaie mahafel-e maa ra nadaanist
No one can fathom the depths or value this love

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Ba joz tofaan kassi dar shahr-e-ghurbat
The wild storms crashing down on strange, distant cities

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Nishaan-e mahafel-e maa ra nadaanist
Only they know the true worth of our love

(repeat 1 & 2)

Na mekhawahm ke be taabat bebinom
Not ever would I want you to be sad

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Dilam khwahad ke shadaab att bebinam,

All I ever need is that you be happy and content

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Nadeedam man ba bedaari rukhat ra
Even if all the flowers in the world wilt and wither away

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Magar hamchu pari khwaabat bebinom
That love I have for you in my heart will not fade

(repeat 1 & 2)

Dil-e-naazok tar az andisha darum
What my heart feels is far mellower than my thoughts

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Hawaie mottadel chun re sha darum
There will never be a moment when I won’t yearn for you

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Hama gul hai-e aalaam barge-e-khoshkad
Bibi, believe me, your love is deeply rooted in my heart

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan

Tu dar baagh-e-kheialem reesha dary
Even if all the flowers in the world wither….

Bibi sanam janem, anaar-e-sisstanem
Ba darwazae tajh quran jayee sanam janem
My love, you are like the sweet pomegranate of Sistan
And your being borders on the divine…
