1. When Isfahan began to yearn for you
And lament with the grief of the suffering one,

2. You rose up from your greatness to help her
And said: "Be reassured, for you have my time."

3. So it dragged its train over the Milky Way
And got lost on the land of destruction and decay.

4. And it came through the valleys of Zarneh Rood
As a greeting to you, saying: "This is where I stay."
