English term or phrase: What's wrong?
I am looking for how one would say "What's wrong?" in colloquial/slang Persian -- for example, if someone walked into a room and saw their friend crying.

Here is a use of "What's wrong?" from an episode of the American TV program Dateline NBC:

The news plunged Jason into despair. April said he seemed paralyzed with fear for his stepdaughters.

“At one point I had actually walked into the bedroom to see him curled in a ball on the bed, just crying. And I asked him, ‘What is going on? What is wrong?’ And he said, ‘I don't know.’ He said, ‘I'm scared.’”

As Miller's petition made its way through the court system, Jason was posted back to Florida, naval diving school in Panama City this time. And every other weekend he drove the girls six hours to Orlando for court-ordered visits with Miller, and six hours back again. And all the way he brooded about their safety. And thus, said the psychiatrist, began Kent's slide into insanity.


Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
