نگار تازه خیز من کجایی آی کجاییMy newly-blooming love, where are you, oh where are you
به چشمان سرمه ریز من کجایی آی کجاییWith your kohl-lined eyes, where are you, oh where are you
نفس بر سینه ی عاشق رسیده آی رسیدهBreath has reached the lover's chest, oh it has reached
دم مردن عزیز من کجایی آی کجاییAt the hour of death, my darling, where are you, oh where are you
بمیرم تا تو چشم تر نبینیLet me die so you won't see these wet eyes
شراره آه پرآذر نبینیso you won't see the fiery spark of my sighs
چنان از آتش عشقت بسوزمMay I burn so fiercely in the fire of your love
که از من رنگ خاکستر نبینیthat you won't even see the color of my ashes
به والله که جانانم تویی توBy God, you are my beloved, it's you
بسلطان عرب آی جانم تویی توBy the sultan of the Arabs, oh you are my soul, it's you
تو دوری از برم دل در برم نیستYou're far from my arms, my heart isn't in my chest
هوای دیگری اندر در سرم نیستthere's no other longing left inside my mind
نگار تازه خیز من کجایی آی کجاییMy newly-blooming love, where are you, oh where are you
به چشمان سرمه ریز من کجایی آی کجاییWith your kohl-lined eyes, where are you, oh where are you
نفس بر سینه ی عاشق رسیده آی رسیدهBreath has reached the lover's chest, oh it has reached
دم مردن عزیز من کجایی آی کجاییAt the hour of death, my darling, where are you, oh where are you

About the song

"Negar" is a classical-style Persian ballad built entirely around longing for an absent beloved. The repeated cry "kojaei" (where are you) frames the entire song as a search, addressed to a beloved described through tender, intimate details — kohl-lined eyes, a breath caught at the edge of a lover's chest, someone called precious at the very moment of dying.

The imagery leans on classical Persian poetic tropes: fire and ash, tears and sighs, comparing the intensity of devotion to flames that could consume the singer entirely without leaving a trace behind. The beloved is elevated to an almost regal status, addressed as a sovereign figure the narrator swears loyalty to completely.

The song's power comes from its raw simplicity — a single plea repeated and intensified rather than developed through a complex narrative — letting the ache of separation and total devotion carry the emotional weight from beginning to end.
