My heart bleeds from the pain of separation, O hope of my heart, where are you?
- "Mowsam-e Gol" (Season of the Flower), popular Persian song composed by Musa Khan Maroufi and performed by singers Pouran, Solmaz Badri, and Parva. A poetic reflection on the fleeting nature of beauty and a plea for mercy. The melody is a variant of “Jaharomi,” a well-known tune from Jaharom county in the Fars province of southwest Iran that was adapted to many different texts.
- تو رفتی ای گل به کنارم “To rafti ey gol be kenaram” (You left, oh flower, come to my side)
- Delāyel gar nāle o zāri makon
- A song recorded by the popular singer Marzieh (Khadijeh Ashraf o-Sadat Mortezaie, 1924-2010) شد دلم خون ز درد جدایی ای امید دل من کجایی (My heart bleeds from the pain of separation, O hope of my heart, where are you?)
- دم گاراژ بودم “Dam-e gārāzh budam” (I was at the garage), an underground song recorded by the street and cabaret singer Afat (Moluk Anghoz 1934–2007).
