"The Persian rhyme "Zardi-ye man az to, sorkhi-ye to az man" is recited during the Chaharshanbe Suri festival while people jump over bonfires. It is a traditional saying that carries symbolic meaning:
"Zardi-ye man az to" translates to "May my yellow paleness be yours." Yellow (zard) here symbolizes sickness, negativity, or any impurities that one wishes to rid themselves of. By saying "May my yellow paleness be yours," one is expressing a desire to pass on their troubles or negative aspects to the fire and cleanse themselves.
"Sorkhi-ye to az man" translates to "and your red glow be mine." Red (sorkh) symbolizes vitality, energy, and warmth. By saying "and your red glow be mine," one is expressing a desire to absorb the positive energy, vitality, and good fortune from the fire and carry it into the new year.
In essence, this rhyme reflects the spirit of purification and renewal associated with jumping over the fire during Chaharshanbe Suri. It encapsulates the idea of exchanging negative qualities for positive ones, cleansing oneself of past troubles, and welcoming blessings and good fortune for the future." - Chat GPT 3.5
