FIRST REACTION homayoun shajarianrumi Rumi Poetry - Persian Music and Singing INTENSE!!

[@bethanybouley6679]

Farsi is such a visceral and utterly romantic language. Until i fell in love with an iranian i could not comprehend the vast world of art that i was missing entirely through this language and culture. Farsi is the most romantic and beautiful language in the world.

please stop calling it "farsi". It is called PERSIAN. Not "farsi".

@@marmary5555 take it easy, one word doesn't change anything "Farsi" is Arabic form for "Persian" and people at Persian regions don't like others call them Arab or following Arabic rules. There is no letter "P" in arabic, so they use "F" instead

[@johndewey6358]

Rumi is a Persian poet who lived during 1207-1273AD The singer is Shajarian (junior). Rumi's poetry is universal and I know Madonna loves it, just like millions of others across the planet. Rumi's poetry is so universal that it crosses time, cultures, languages ... It does not matter what is your language, culture, as long as you are a human being Rumi's pottery will speak to your soul. Try it and you might be surprised :) BTW, this poem was Rumi's poem about his love of God and he speaks to God. The double meaning is that this could be a poem between two human beings. So, when God asked him to leave all friends and loved one , it was so Rumi could devote all of his attention to God. This was not meant as one lover asks another person to leave all friends and family for another person, it is about a much higher level of love. This also, could be the type of love that a person (let's say a scientist) may find in science that requires that person to devote all attention so he/she can find a scientific cure for something that pains mankind. There are all kinds of love. Think of love in this example as the universal love.

[@zizigulu]

I'd like thank you as an Iranian lover of Rumi's work, for so eloquently explaining the reach and depth and the truth of his convictions in life and creation and the creator, as represented in his timeless work of linguistic art of Persian poetry.

[@Ma_lfhjs]

you're absolutely right but there's no such thing as universal or different variety of love. Love is love and anything else is either a shadow of love or complete falsehood.

As a proud Iranian Armenian, I’m eternally blessed for being fluent in Farsi. I often wish for my American Armenian husband to understand the sublime elements of this endlessly poetic language. Luckily, I can translate the poem to him in Armenian. Otherwise, if I had to rely on the English language, the entire attempt with be hollowed out. At the very least, in Armenian, I can convey the depths of the words to him. Furthermore, in the section where Rumi claims that he would abandon his family & friends, both my husband and I immediately recognized that Rumi is speaking to God. It's inconceivable in both of our cultures to exist without our parental units or without our community and friends. This is a declaration of a divine love. After the Armenian Genocide, several hundred thousand Armenians took refuge in Iran and each one of us was welcomed with great admiration for one another. This act of humanity from the Iranian people, allowed our families to not only find a safe haven, but to live amongst the most generous and loving people on earth.

I jokingly said “ do you want to come with me “! He looked so sad .. he said : I wish , but I still have to serve another year ! He let us go without a ticket . My other cousin and I were driving from Tabriz to Tehran . I asked her to stop and buy a melon from a man who was obviously very poor. I never bought things from stores . Always from street sellers . We found a place with water and was about to eat our melon when an entire Turkish speaking family stopped . They brought the most gorgeous food and offered all of it to us .

I’m a 18 Iranian boy and so far I couldn’t find any music more emotional and better than homayoun shajarians music ,and I don’t think so l would find in the future. I love the culture of my country and I'm really proud I'm living at homayou time and I'm really proud I'm Iranian 🇮🇷❤️

Kudos to you Matt for your adventurous spirit that moves you to expose us to cultural worlds we might have missed if we weren't following you! We knew Rumi's poetry is a rapturously beautiful but we may not have realized that the music is part of the glory of Persian culture. Perhaps, like Tagore, Rumi comes alive in songs in a way we never imagined when simply reading the words. Thank you!!!!

Translation is not nearly as close to describe it as it should. I've been living in US for over 40 years and there's no way I could translate or explain in English words what Rumi is trying to say! You have to grow up with that language and study poetry to be able to understand it entirely. The music and the voice is godly as well.

[@elinosra369]

Rumi’s poems reflect love to God. But then this human emotion can be to our kids, our parents, a friend, a lover, our partner, our pet. Love is love and Rumi is interpreting the meaning of it even though he meant love of God. Rumi’s poems just pierce into your heart and as he wished his poems to be put into music and dance it just takes you into another realm.

This was magnificent reaction. Let me explain one thing about song.there is a Reason for partner asking to cut ties with everyone and separation from relatives and didcation only to her. Its actually simbolic. This song is not about love between humans. Its about love between human and god. Basically that part was talking about cutting ties with attachments of materialistic life and stop being controlled by it. Instead devote ourselves to understanding god, loving his creations and improving ourselves. Because if our character dont grow then we can not wistand love of god

Homayoun's father, as I'm sure you've probably learned by now, is considered a grand master, but there's no denying Homayoun's own power and prowess. It's really amazing that even though he is his own man and artist his father definitely lives through him still; an awesome generational connection and continuance.

[@terrys8380]

A lot of times the love expressed in such Persian/Iranian poetry is not directed at a human beloved but rather to a realization of the Source, the Spirit, the Creator. hence the intensity of expression of that love and the seemingly “unfair” Renunciation of family and friends after such realization or growth. Appreciate your appreciation. 🙏🏼

I love middle eastern music the sound and words are soulful .. it’s one of the oldest music in history.. goes back thousands of years .. ty for bringing this to your channel .. music soothes the soul no need to see lyrics you can see the love or pain in the singers when they sing..

[@arashshamim8756]

There is a difference between eastern and western music in the way we treat the category of "love". In the East, especially when it comes to mysticism and love in this situation, the beloved is always in the utmost development and perfection. Oftentimes it is God Himself and sometimes humans have attained the utmost perfection as human beings. They have given up their positions, their seats, their possessions, their names and their slogans and they want everything for others and for their people. This Rumi poem is the translation of such love. This point should be noted. I think you came very close to that understanding. Thank you for your review and your charm of this music.

I think in this song the word "love" is different than what we know as love. I have heard that in Persian poetry the word "love" doesn't mean the love between human and the concept of wine doesn't mean alcohol, and the world drunk doesn't mean drunk from alcohol. It's all somehow related to some sort of meditation

[@savitarfarrokhi2048]

You should listen to khayam-khani by his father “mohammad reza shajarian”too; Persian music is so engraved with/in the culture, history, poetry ,and architecture and PAIN! Yes unfortunately pain and years and years of censorship! We are talking of centuries of censorship. And I think the “partner “ here is not in human form, its more like a higher power and you have to seek it within you and if necessary to go on a journey alone to find yourself! Like other mystic and Sufi poets of Persian literature, Rumi's poetry speaks of love which infuses the world. It would be very difficult to explain the concept to Americans lol!

He is the son of the late Mohammadreza Shajarian, the Persian tradition musical legends that just passed last year around the same time. The whole nation was grieving his departure. He was not just a musician, but an icon. Anyway, this guy's name is not Rumi Poetry, but the lyrics to this song are one of the poems of the renowned medieval Persian poet Rumi (roo-ME) aka Mowlana Jalaluddin Balkhi. And ,man, this poem, combined with this music really cuts deep. I wish more people could appreciate the words. Keep up the good work. 👍
