Lyrics
Yek nazar bar yaari kardam, Yaare naalidan gereft

Yek nazar bar abri kardam, abre baaridan gereft

Yek nazar bar baadi kardam, bade raqseedan gereft

Yek nazar bar koohi kardam, kooh larzidan gereft



Takye bar divaari kardam, khaaki bar fargham neshest

Khaaki bar farghash neshinad, aanke yaar az man gereft



Maa yaar nadaarim o ghame yaar nadaarim

Maa yaar be joz taalebe jabaar nadaarim



Gar gozar kardi ze raaham, ashk baaran shavad

Noore chashmat gar bebinom, del sarmast shavad

Sare zolfat raa begirom, del heyraan shavad

Gar bemaani dar diyaarom, jaan shekar zaaran shaved



Maa yaar nadaarim o ghame yaar nadaarim

Maa yaar be joz taalebe jabaar nadaarim





A single glance at a lover and the lover sighed

A single glance at a cloud and it began to rain

A single glance at the wind and it began to dance

A single glance at the mountain and it began to shake



I leaned against a wall and felt the dust gather on my head

May he be accursed, he who takes my lover away



We have no worldly love, therefore we are free from the suffering of desire

We have no lover, save for the one who is our guiding light towards truth



If you were to pass before me, my tears would turn to rain

If I were to gaze into the light in your eyes, I would enter a drunken state

If I were to touch even the tip of your hair, my heart would be enraptured

If you were to remain in my presence, I would be consumed with the sweetness of love



We have no worldly love, therefore we are free from the suffering of desire

We have no lover, save for the one who is our guiding light towards truth

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

OMG this makes me so happy. Look at those two. Look at this perfect song you chose, and this perfect title. Look at Lawrence looking at Faisal in those film reels, God. Look at them so utterly in love with each other and tearing themselves to pieces over their political maneuvering choices and the bigotry of others. Look at those eyes and those hands and that intensity and I am so in love with them and with you for making a vid for this movie, which I have to go watch again now (the vid, that is, although also the movie at some point). Thank you thank you thank you.

(And sorry I'll stop editing this comment now)

Current favorite lyric match: "the dust" as snow falls on Faisal, and Lawrence's burning gaze as what's-his-name threatens to "take my lover away."

And Lawrence afraid of being consumed by (his love for) Faisal particularly in the part with the cigarette lighter, the emotions of which are apparent from your editing and the fall in the singer's voice, even if you don't know the words.

If I weren't loath to edit that comment again, I'd revise to make clear that it's not just politics and racism that roil their relationship at the end but also personal entanglements like Mme Dumont trying to seduce Lawrence.
