Give Us a Piece of Peace

Oh mate! Let the entire society be apprised
Neither come I from East or North, nor from West or South!
My home is the East of emotions of Rumi's verses
My nest is the west of grief, brimful with twilight
Mark my address as "Friend's Home"
Neither stony or wooden, nor adobe it is
My home is as colorless as love's colorlessness
Neither come I from East or North, nor from West or South!

Lyrics of a song by Farhad Darya
