المعنى
A request for someone to move so they are not obstructing.
خلفية ثقافية
In Iranian homes, keeping the 'path' clear is a sign of a good host. Leaving shoes or items in the hallway where guests walk is considered 'bi-adabi' (impolite). In the heavy traffic of Tehran, you will often hear motorbikers shouting 'سر راه!' as a shortened, more aggressive version to tell pedestrians to move. Classical poets like Hafez often speak of 'māne' (obstacles) on the path to love. This phrase is the modern descendant of those poetic concepts. Iranians value 'ravābet' (relationships). 'Removing someone from the way' in business often implies a serious breakdown in a relationship or a very aggressive move.
Softening the Request
Always add 'lotfan' (please) or 'bebakhshid' (excuse me) when using this with people you don't know well.
Object Marker 'Rā'
Don't forget the 'rā' after the object you are removing. E.g., 'Ino (in rā) az sar-e rāh bardār.'

Ta'arof vs. Action
If someone says 'mozahem nistam?' (Am I in the way?), they are using Ta'arof. You should respond with 'na in che harfie' (No, what are you saying?) before they actually move.
