Rumi Poetry | Persian Music and Singing | Homayoun Shajarian and Chera Rafti Reaction

[@Herot145]

I’m Iranian/Persian, Rumi’s or Molana’s poetry is about Sufism, mystic poetry about the love relationship between Man and God/Creator. Homayoun Shajarian is a well known singer in Persian traditional music industry and son of Maestro Mohammadreza Shajarian(RIP). Sohrab Pournazeri is behind the instrument that is called “Tanbour/Tanboor”, an instrument which mostly used in Persian Sufi music and dates back to ancient Mesopotamia and widely being used in the region with different variants but it shined in ancient Persian empires courts from 300BC to 700AD. Persian/Sufi music and overall Persian traditional music is about mysticism, trance and meditations and heavily influenced by Persian poetry like works of Rumi, Saadi Shirazi, Hafez Shirazi, Shams, Khayaam and many other poets of middle age Persia/Iran. Other well known Iranian singer in Sufi music structure is Shahram Nazeri.

Rumi was from iran or afg?

@@Herot145 you mean he belongs to balkh

[@Herot145]

@@arianchannel4357 He was born into a Persian family in the city of Balkh, so yes, he belongs to Balkh by place of birth. His name was “Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Balkhī” but he was also known as “Mulana” “Mulavi” and later by West as “Rumi”.

When I saw the translation, I realized that English doesn't have enough words for all this insanity. thank's for your reaction.

[@mostafameshkatian3108]

Absolutely

[@mostafameshkatian3108]

I myself am Iranian, I know the meaning of poet even in sometimes it gets so complicated but the translation isn't really what poet means..

[@alihakimhashemi3493]

before that, I wanted to describe about homayoun and his fathers and that instruments. but after that I saw you explain about them. u explain very good. thank u. yes cause of the bad and hateful politition in america, and masons and zayonist, many people in the world dont know anything about iran and that polititions are realy scared of that to one day all the people know about real view of iran and iranians people. iran is not normal. iran is the one way to the haevens of god. and if anybody know about that, he or she can undrestand what I say and whay I said iran is one of the way to the god.

[@mehps20]

That's so true. Persian poems are not translatable.

[@z.mustafafarzad3305]

Yes , English is not enough to make sense for the translation in Persian language, Farsi is the most complete language with more than words than all the languages in the world…

[@rezarajabi6206]

Actually Farsi is the language of meditation. With all troubles going on in our country, still reminding myself that I had a chance to grow up with such a great language makes me to feel blessed.

[@arioy1754]

In English language, there is no such thing as farsi which is a local name derived from Parsi. Use Persian from now on.

[@hamidnazari7660]

​@@arioy1754The Best thing would be if you educate yourself before writing down what comes to your mind.

[@hamidnazari7660]

@reza... So in your opinion, the mere fact of "... All troubles going on in our country, still .." in your perception is reason enough not to feel blessed. Juvenile reasoning doesn't even come close to describing either the "feeling of being ashamed" or "the feeling of being blessed". More like a lack of self respect, self confidence and being brain washed by the MSM would be more appropriate and to the point.

Welcome to the temple

[@Skykimomo]

I really really enjoyed your reaction. I watched a few youtubers reacting to Homayoun Shajarian performing Rumi's poetry , but many people fail to recognize that what Rumi meant with "beloved" is the love for God. Actually Rumi's poetry is designed to be ambiguous in that way. In my opinion that's what makes it so beautiful.

[@fathicoltd6774]

Finally found someone who understood like 90% of this music, and the way they presented it. You should be proud of yourself Monq. These things don't hit ordinary people.

[@SteveBotello]

Well done...Beautiful set and Beautiful Poetic Song.

[@LeilaRubi]

Hi There. To answer your question, the lines were not from different years, but different poems. A "Ghazal" is a poem that is broken into pairs of lines that rhyme with each other. So these lines were taken from different poems and used as lyrics. And you are correct, the love they speak of in this song/poem is not love, but Love...as in "The One" or "The Source" from which (according to Sufism to which I very much subscribe) we are separated from, and the beautiful agony of separation is what we humans suffer from, until such time that we return to the Source. One beautiful analogy from Attar (a ancient Iranian Poet) is that they 'human consciousness' is like a droplet of water separated from the "Ocean". As a droplet you can not possibly comprehend the Ocean (which is why the religious right fears sufism) and after we breath our last, we return to the "One" so we/you/I will all be "Water" rather than a droplet separated from Love. May Peace be upon you and Love your guide.

[@CaspianC]

Rumi lived in 13th century. The number refers to the poem's number from the book. Thanks for the great reaction!🫶🏼

[@SinaKhajehJahromi]

It is traditional Persian music on the poem of Rumi. As you mentioned it is not the love of man & woman. This poem is speak the scene which the Rumi in love of the main lover (mother of nature) and now he speak about the ways he passed to reach it. He broke any materialistic connection which band him to this world and then the journey began.

[@abjibozorge6289]

From all the reactions to this masterpiece, you were the only one who realized that it's a love poem. And not the kind of love between two persons. It's a divine love between the creator and the creature. 🙏🏼

He was a Persian philosopher who met Shams Tabrizi ( north of iran ). From then on he converted to Sufism and turned away from Islam .
