It is the lyrics of one of the best love songs of Aref, "The lake of lights" (دریاچهٔ نور). It has been written from left to right with a minor mistake at the first verse on the top of right column which should be (ای دلت دریاچهٔ نور) and is written (ای دل از دریاچهٔ نور).
A recent version of this song by Aerf himself in BBC TV along with the lyrics is here

Many thanks to OmidTavana for the information.

I used Google Translate to see the meanings of the lyrics (attached). Most of the translation makes sense to me, but as you can probably see, some might be a bit off. I'd appreciate corrections. :)

Below are just some personal notes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aref_Arefkia

Aref Arefkia, known as Aref (Persian: عارف‎), born August 15, 1941 in Tehran, Iran, is an Iranian-born pop singer ...

His first hit was "Daryacheye Noor" which is still popular among all the Iranians ...

No Farsi/English online translator is good enough. So the lyrics is as follows

Do you remember that night
we pass through the forest

and we wrote mementos
on the cold body of trees

You can't imagine that
what your sorrow did to me

damn to the hands of fate
that separate you from me

without you, the flower of smile
has faded out on my lips

without you my heart
is hurt in this life

Ah my world of happiness, without you
my heart is the sea of saddness

and like sorrowful birds
my eyes are desperate and senseless

Ah, your heart a lake of lights
if you broke my heart
remember my memories
wherever you go without me

@OmidTavana: Your translation makes so much more sense and reads natural and poetic to me. I cannot thank you enough for this. It means tremendously to me personally. My best wishes to you!
