Chisht, also written Chisht-e Sharif, Chesht-i Sharif or Chesht is a town near Herat in Afghanistan. It is important in Sufism because the Chishti Sufi Order originated there.
Chisht-i-Sharif is some 177 km east of Herat city. As you approach it across a plateau, you can see the two famous domes of Chisht. The town sits in the ravine between these plateaus. Winding down and up, you will find an avenue of pine trees leading directly to two ruined buildings now standing in the middle of an extensive graveyard. Experts argue as to the purpose of these buildings. Some speak of them as mausoleums. Others see them as parts of a grand complex of buildings. The mutilated molded terra cotta brick decoration can only speak softly their former magnificence. Stylistically, the decoration of these buildings falls into the category of Ghorid arch in the Jami Mosque and the minaret of Jam, both of which bear the name of Ghiyas-ud-din Ghori.

Save me
'Cause I'm
Watching you just slip away
And the faults my own
I'm sinking so low
And the pain begins to grow
Begins to grow
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Convincingly she calls to me
Her words so beautiful
And the darkness brings
Everything
That's good rigth out of me
Right out of me
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Like suicide...
The times, they've changed
A brand new day
Watching you just slip (away)
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
And I've wasted time chasing you
('cause your love is like suicide)
Forget the hurt you put me through
('cause your love is like suicide)
Like suicide
With the hurt you put me through
You love...
Like suicide
