Infidel's Confession
By Iskandar Peshi
Translated by A.Z. Foreman

Hey, Sheikhs and Preachers. I'm a man from Unbelieverdom.
I will not fake repentance for my drunkenness and fun.
There's joy both in debauchery and Surat al-Rahman.
My one true God of love and lovemaking, where have you gone?

The Original:
كافرم از كفر اباد اى واعظ و مفتى
توبۀ خالى نخواهم كرد از اين مستى
لذت است از رندگى و سورت الرحمان
اى خداى دوست داران تو كجا رفتى؟
