Mohsen Chavoshi, one of the famous singers inside Iran, is “the King of sad songs!” and his beautiful singing used to make me cry all the time. His heavy voice has a sad emotional tone, and I remember he first started his career with the saddest, suicidal songs.

Lyrics
I am heartbroken over my heart
Because it is far from you
Your memories are always passing
And I have nothing left
And I am still burning
Your memory is like a fire
It's like a tandoor
The pain that I feel right now of you!
Needs a man to bear it!
And a man without you
Is a man from the graves … the graves …
(means he is dead)
The dust that sat on my heart of you
Not rain…
Not even a flood can wash it away!
Separation from you
Not only scars
But it injures the heart
Your memory is like a disease
Like a Blind Owl.
Your eyes were charming
And I fell in love
The poor thing is still looking
For someone to say his pain to
It is not his fault!
Don’t say fate or God’s hand!
The story of unfaithfulness
Has nothing to do with God!
It has nothing to do with God!
The dust that sat on my heart of you
Not rain
Not even a flood can wash it away!
Separation from you
Not only scars
But it injures the heart
Your memory is like a disease
Like a blind owl.
