The lyrics of the song resonate deeply with the theme:

O’ Imam Reza (AS)!

 I’ve come to greet you,

To pay my respects to your Majesty.

You gave me whatever I have. But I have nothing to give you.

I’ve come to greet you … to greet you.

Your shrine is the garden of flowers and the light.

Your breath smells like spring.

Your looks show us the direction of the face of the faceless Beloved.

Who would ever turn to you without picking a look from you?

Our hearts are like unkempt lock of hair,

Your face is like a mirror.

Your breath is like a cup of spring,

And your face is like the sprouts in Nowruz.

Many people’s distressed fate is tied to the sprouts.

A wave left in itself it’s left out of the sea.

A confused wave, it’s come back and it’s all alone.

My soul is restless. I haven’t slept a wink.

I’m brimming with your dream.

 I’m a lonely wave, One day, I’ll come back and I’ll prostrate in front of you.

One day, I’ll come back … one day, I’ll come back and I’ll prostrate in front of you.

These empty hands are full of prayers.

Your lap is a full of flowers. It’s the garden of supplication and fulfilled prayers.

Your arms are full of God.

It’s a safe abode for drops of tear to bloom.

These empty hands are full of prayers.

These empty hands are full of prayers.

Your lap is a full of flowers. It’s the garden of supplication and fulfilled prayers.

Your arms are full of God.

It’s a safe abode for drops of tear to bloom.

Oh, mirror-face!

Visiting you is a blessing and mercy granted by God.
