“اسیر په ځنځیر شوم د پیر دامن ګیر”

Asir pa zanjir shom da pir daman gir

I became a captive in chains, entangled with the spiritual guide.

The phrase 'entangled with the spiritual guide' (پیر دامن ګیر - pir daman gir) suggests a deep spiritual connection or perhaps a difficult devotion, where the singer feels bound by their relationship with a religious or spiritual mentor.

“مجنون، جیګرخون، کرم پیلتون در په در”

Majnun, jigarkhon, karam piltun dar pa dar

Majnun, heartbroken, like Piltun, wandering door to door.

Referring to 'Majnun' and 'Piltun' (مجنون، جیګرخون، کرم پیلتون - Majnun, jigarkhon, karam piltun) invokes classical Persian and Arabic tales of tragic lovers, emphasizing the singer's profound and suffering love.

“بشر، مې قمر، لب شکر ګل بدن”

Bashar, me qamar, lab shakar gul badan

Human, my moon, lips like sugar, body like a flower.
