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.
@@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
@@ardaniproductions calm down, I'm engineer (not doctor) and also live in Iran and know all those matters. But I prefer talk about video subject (reaction to Rumi poem) and avoid argument that may leads to racism. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language ruclips.net/video/7CaNT43TGlg/видео.html
Infact as someone who understand the lyrics, I wanted to mention that how weak the words are to transfer the concept, the meaning is much more serious and wider than what one may grasp of the subs. Man, believe me, it is 1 of 100. It is Rumi's words.
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.
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.
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.

I really don't know how anyone could translate this poetry regardless of how good you are. I just wish you knew Farsi. Thanks for the video 😊

That's why I say Iran has the BEST language and culture. Nobody can understand the all meanings of a word that used there. And about you,thank you for showing the culture to your community.
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. Sincere love for my HAMVATANS & a low bow 🇦🇲❤️🇮🇷🙏

You should be my friend. We Persians have contributed so much to society for thousands of years. Our language and poetry is beyond explanation. We are loving people who cherish our guests . When I come to iran , people treat me with suck kindness . No one bothers me a lot my clothes , I walk around with no scarf and no one says a word not even the police . My cousin was driving my car and speeding . We got stopped . My cousin hasn’t brought his drivers license with him !!!! I was laughing so hard … I showed the gentleman my California license and he said “ oh my god you live in California “!! As if he wished I could take him with me. My eyes were full of tears !!! 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 still have a video of them . I love my homeland . I wouldn’t give a single drop of its soul for the whole world!
Music is truly a universal language. You don’t have to understand Persian to feel the emotions expressed through the fingers of the string player and the singer’s voice. By the way, the young singer here is the son of one of the most well known Iranian traditional master vocalists who recently passed away.
I studied Rumi’s poetry with a few philosophers in Tehran for years ( started at 16 and almost continued for 10 years) … one who deeply loses oneself in his words, strangely perceives the world differently. It may astound people but you really experience life in another level. I recommend Rumi’s and Attar’s poetries for world peace, acceptance and empathy … Thank you for the video 🙂
Rumi is the name the Turkish called him His name was jalal e din balkhi / molana , molavi is his title . He had to leave iran because the Mongolians had attacked Persia and finally died in Ghonieh which is now the modern Turkey . The Turkish people claim he’s their poet . His poetry was all in Farsi Not Turkish

Wow, when i listen to this style of singing i feel i am hearing the voices of men from thousands of years ago. Time travel. Close your eyes and listen.
Iranian traditinal music touch your soul and make you a emotional person and after that you see a little relief in you mind even your body, some kinda like meditation, its all come from ancient IRAN
Roman writings can never be translated into any other language. Therefore, the meaning you receive in Persian is not comparable to any other language. LOVE FROM IRAN 🇮🇷🤍
What a deep meaning! He does not sing about the love between man and woman but about the love for God. And not the God who is taught in religion, he sings about,, ,, we Alevis call it Hak / hakikat (the truth), the divine energy that surrounds all life and matter and cannot be found outside of yourself
Love in Iranian and Islamic 'Hekmat' and 'Erfan' is a vast term consists of different levels and kinds. Molavi in his books especially 'Masnavi' talks about all different levels and different kinds of love. From earthly love (Man & Women) to Heavenly love. And Eventually the love for God. Sometimes the levels are so wonderfully mixed in his books that you can not tell the difference. That is the superb characteristic of Erfan.
@@sarf7195 very true . do you read them in Farsi? because when one gets to read and know him and his thoughts and words ,if it connects with him , it is as if this person finds himself in a totally different world . if you can read in Farsi then you know that the language used in poetry from Hafez or Attar or Omar khayyam are very much different from that of Molavi , they are very different from the everyday used Farsi , but Molavis Peoms are most as if he is merely speaking without meaning to write poems . you can speak them and they will still make sense .of course he has his own kind of very complicated use of language which you can NOT understand without a knowledge of it ,having read a book on the subbjet even as a native speaker . what you pointed at is because of his very simple style and choose of words ,sometimes it makes you wonder is he still talking about GOD? and this is one of many aspects that makes him such a beautiful Person . i dont think one out of millions who dive deeply into his world and claim to know it have really grasped it all .

I rather use donkey to travel and be happy rather than wealthy and depressed beyound suicide If rumi was naievly happy, then westerners are ignorently depressed . Which one is better ? Which one enjoys life more? Which one can deal with more hardships in their life? Of course rumi was not naive . Exactly opposite. He has too much wisdom for this age of regression. Not trying to judge you. But as long as you are happy and satisfied, then thats all matters. If you are happy then its good. Because i am happy.

Hi there, Roomy (Rumy) is a very known poet in Iran and Persian language. Unfortunately English language have not enough words to Express the meaning of this poem. In my beloved language (Persian) we expresses our filing to our loved with hundreds of words and it's so flawless and rhythmic the same as waves of the sea, so deeply in love that you want to gives your eyes to someone who goes near your love. You have to learn the language to fill the words impression. Thanks and regards
The word "Love "in Rumi's poems has a different meaning with what we consider love ,these days. It was part of their worship to God. Also being drunk was metaphor of being obsessed or possessed by God. The partner itself is not a physical partner or spouse, its the attention Rumi got from God. He had to create metaphors to make his deep concepts understanding .
God is walking on earth as every human or living creature and being drunk is being drunk by wine. Don’t try to interpret and make things complicated. God is in front of our eyes not something hidden or mysterious. Go and have a look in the mirror. You’ll see one of the faces of God.
@@manikeshvardoost3703 agree but God can also be the whole of everyone and every thing together. In this case it isn't a single person or something. And you can get drunk/high without wine/drugs.

Persian music is beautiful!He sings very beautifully!Thanks, Matt!Great reaction, my friend! Listen to Alice Supronova again.I can give you another link.👏👍🇷🇺
Great reaction and comments Matt. The Persian language has evolved over thousands of years to serve as the backbone of Persian music and philosophy. It has the means to deliver melodies and convey complex metaphors at the same time. Rumi used both features in the best way possible. I don't mean to nag nor brag, but most Persian poems lose much of meaning and taste when translated to other languages, especially English.

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.
Excellent! Simply Excellent! The "love" in these Rumi's poetries refers to love for the creator (God) and it's like when a small rain drop meets the ocean, then it becomes the ocean!
Oh such a beautiful description ❤ I am an iranian and I Love my culture of course i believe that every culture in the world has itself beauties.. for that its a little time i started to learn english..
You can see how deep the lyrics touched Matt, however this is the mythical combination of music, vocals and ambience. Welcome to the mystical Persian world Matt
oh man, my mother tongue is persian. The lyric is so heavy and meaningful (typical for RUMI) that I have look for some words in persian dictionary. It is so heart touching lyric that I can cry over it for days :(. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I love the english literature either but this one is on another level. My last word : I love RUMI, get known to him, you'd regret it. Love you all stay safe and healthy.
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.
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.
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
It actually is not. The ayatollahs after 1979 disaster tried to insert these interpretations into our poetry to make it compatible with Islam!!!! Having said that though that interpretation is not completely false either but is secondary at best.
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 🇮🇷❤️
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
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. 🙏🏼
Oh, what a marvelous composition they’ve created! It's simply breathtaking how they've weaved together every element to form this exquisite masterpiece. Words cannot express my gratitude for introducing me to this enchanting genre of music. Thank you from the depths of my heart! 1/7/2024
Authentic music is like life to me. It shakes my heart and connects me to my whole existence and gives me a sense of liberation and lightness. I have been in contact and familiar with this kind of music since I was a child because of my father's interest in this genre of music, and now I listen to him and cry, not because of sadness. But out of passion and love
Makes every single cell of my body vibrates, and as a Persian who understands the words makes me even more crazy. (( divaneh gashtam = became crrazy ))
@@mattcriscuolo1541 Yes, because the Persian language is part of the Indo-European languages. You will be surprised how many words are common in Persian and European languages! Words such as mother, father, brother, daughter, lips, and many more.
Indeed Ustad Shajarian left this nugget after himself. I love Jaloluddin Balkhi (Rumi) and I love how Shajarian in this song expressed Balkhi's love to mighty God.
Hi Matthew, my name is Sheida and I’m a Persian-American who studied Persian classical music. I appreciate people like you with a wide horizon in music! You were right about mystical and philosophical Persian music. Please keep in mind the poetry you were hearing and reading in English is from 700 years ago. Shams-e Tabrizi Rumi (pronounces roomie), in order to understand more of his poetry one must get familiar with the environment he lived 7 centuries ago and issues he was involved.
as an Iranian, I tell you friends, Iranian culture and music are much deeper than you think, remember that Iran and Greece are two ancient countries of world civilization, when in the whole world there were only these two civilizations and the rest of the civilizations came after these two civilizations, I hope that the time will come when Iranian culture, civilization and music will find their true place in the world.
He is not singing about earthy love. Rumi’s poets are all about love of creator and higher consciousness. When he says I cut all my relationship he is pointing to the love to material and earthy love. Thank you for showing this piece in your channel.
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.
This guy is superb, he's truly trying to open our hearts and minds to new things and emotions. I'm persian so I understand the music well but his reactions are so genuine and on the point. Enjoyed his comments 👌
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!!!!
To understand the deep and wonderful meanings of Iranian poetry, one must learn Persian. Then the pleasure of listening to this concert will be multiplied.
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!
I am Persian and I write some Persian poetry at times myself. And I love this guy, Homayoun Shajarian. 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. 👍
How many times have you heard Michelin star chefs say " let the ingredients speak for themselves"? Well, in musical terms this performance demonstrated just that. Ps, this is the first time I've visited this channel and I must admit Matt's reaction is one of the most intelligent ones I've seen so far. I'd be liking and subscribing :-)
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..
Because I am Iranian, because of the rich and beautiful culture of my country, I am the happiest person in the whole world. Master Shajarian and his son are a great treasure and wealth for us Iranians.
Luckily my first language is Farsi and I almost know most of the words and sentences, but as Farsi is a very rich language two or three English words are just one word in Farsi and it is a complex language that even I don’t know most of the Farsi words and after thinking a bit about the word I begin to understand the meaning of the word. I love Farsi language ❤️
M.R Shajarian and his son Homayoun Shajarian are the best singer and musician in Iran. They're legend. They combine music and poetry well and give the listener a soul potion.
You know what? You nailed it; most of the times I recommend the foreigners not to listen to this music because it’s traditional Persian singing Rumi poetry that is so difficult to understand even for us Persians, but you as an American from a very different culture got the point, even I can see corrected translation, I subscribed to your channel and recommend you react to more Persian songs and poetry, it’s a galaxy you sure won’t regret that
As a iranian person l am , l can say that we love our treditional songs soooo much as you do , they are everything about feeling and can take your soul and moving around the beautiful sens of word . Thanks for listening to our tredition iranian culture❤❤
Matt, you had tremendous insights in this video. Really your commentary in this video is among the best I’ve heard from you. This RUclips channel has clearly been a journey and I think as a community we all are building a greater appreciation for music in all forms and from different cultures One artist I’ll recommend to you is Vienna Teng. I think one of her most brilliant achievements is a looping cover she performs live that mixes Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers and Lose Yourself by Eminem. As she layers the tracts her creation builds to something I think is genius. Vienna performed this piece during a number of her concerts but I’m sending g you her first live performance of it. Since it’s organically created each time feels different but I’m attached to the one I heard first ruclips.net/video/Mk5-G9XKbJE/видео.html Even if you don’t do it as a reaction it’s worth the few minutes to check it out and appreciate talented artists!

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.
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.
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.

No, It's not. Its about Shams Tabrizi

Thats right!! I suggest you to hear "man koja baran koja" by this singer too.
That's why I say Iran has the BEST language and culture.
Nobody can understand the all meanings of a word that used there.
And about you,thank you for showing the culture to your community.
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.
Sincere love for my HAMVATANS & a low bow

You should be my friend. We Persians have contributed so much to society for thousands of years. Our language and poetry is beyond explanation. We are loving people who cherish our guests . When I come to iran , people treat me with suck kindness . No one bothers me a lot my clothes , I walk around with no scarf and no one says a word not even the police . My cousin was driving my car and speeding . We got stopped . My cousin hasn’t brought his drivers license with him !!!! I was laughing so hard … I showed the gentleman my California license and he said “ oh my god you live in California “!! As if he wished I could take him with me. My eyes were full of tears !!! 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 still have a video of them . I love my homeland . I wouldn’t give a single drop of its soul for the whole world!

Music is truly a universal language. You don’t have to understand Persian to feel the emotions expressed through the fingers of the string player and the singer’s voice. By the way, the young singer here is the son of one of the most well known Iranian traditional master vocalists who recently passed away.
Thanks for sharing that
Loving Persian music much
I studied Rumi’s poetry with a few philosophers in Tehran for years ( started at 16 and almost continued for 10 years) … one who deeply loses oneself in his words, strangely perceives the world differently. It may astound people but you really experience life in another level. I recommend Rumi’s and Attar’s poetries for world peace, acceptance and empathy …
Thank you for the video 🙂
This is all about music really, not philosophy. You can change the lyrics and get the same feeling.
Rumi is the name the Turkish called him
His name was jalal e din balkhi / molana , molavi is his title . He had to leave iran because the Mongolians had attacked Persia and finally died in Ghonieh which is now the modern Turkey . The Turkish people claim he’s their poet . His poetry was all in Farsi Not Turkish

dude his poetries are in persian.they are roman
Rumi is his nickname. His real name was Mohammad Jalaleddin Balkhi and he was Persian. His poetries and his language was in Persian not Roman 😃
What a deep meaning! He does not sing about the love between man and woman but about the love for God.
And not the God who is taught in religion, he sings about,,
,, we Alevis call it Hak / hakikat (the truth), the divine energy that surrounds all life and matter and cannot be found outside of yourself
exactly , how righteously said .
Love in Iranian and Islamic 'Hekmat' and 'Erfan' is a vast term consists of different levels and kinds.
Molavi in his books especially 'Masnavi' talks about all different levels and different kinds of love. From earthly love (Man & Women) to Heavenly love. And Eventually the love for God.
Sometimes the levels are so wonderfully mixed in his books that you can not tell the difference. That is the superb characteristic of Erfan.
@@sarf7195 very true . do you read them in Farsi?
because when one gets to read and know him and his thoughts and words ,if it connects with him , it is as if this person finds himself in a totally different world .
if you can read in Farsi then you know that the language used in poetry from Hafez or Attar or Omar khayyam are very much different from that of Molavi ,
they are very different from the everyday used Farsi , but Molavis Peoms are most as if he is merely speaking without meaning to write poems .
you can speak them and they will still make sense .of course he has his own kind of very complicated use of language which you can NOT understand without a knowledge of it ,having read a book on the subbjet even as a native speaker .
what you pointed at is because of his very simple style and choose of words ,sometimes it makes you wonder is he still talking about GOD? and this is one of many aspects that makes him such a beautiful Person .
i dont think one out of millions who dive deeply into his world and claim to know it have really grasped it all .
Most Iranian poem is about god
It's hagh dude not hak
(حق)
And ye , it is about that thing and that's why those poems are called

If rumi was naievly happy, then westerners are ignorently depressed . Which one is better ? Which one enjoys life more? Which one can deal with more hardships in their life?
Of course rumi was not naive . Exactly opposite. He has too much wisdom for this age of regression. Not trying to judge you. But as long as you are happy and satisfied, then thats all matters. If you are happy then its good. Because i am happy.
And whole point was living simple advices by rumi was not about abandoning qealth and ride donkeys. It was about , even if you are so poor that you have to ride donkeys, you still can be happy . You dont need to be upset and curse yourself because you life situation is not idealistic atm

Hi there,
Roomy (Rumy) is a very known poet in Iran and Persian language. Unfortunately English language have not enough words to Express the meaning of this poem. In my beloved language (Persian) we expresses our filing to our loved with hundreds of words and it's so flawless and rhythmic the same as waves of the sea, so deeply in love that you want to gives your eyes to someone who goes near your love.
You have to learn the language to fill the words impression.
Thanks and regards
The word "Love "in Rumi's poems has a different meaning with what we consider love ,these days. It was part of their worship to God. Also being drunk was metaphor of being obsessed or possessed by God.
The partner itself is not a physical partner or spouse, its the attention Rumi got from God.
He had to create metaphors to make his deep concepts understanding .
dear Nima yeah kinda true but it can be both God love and also a normal earth love. and what makes it beautiful that it is for both of them
God is walking on earth as every human or living creature and being drunk is being drunk by wine. Don’t try to interpret and make things complicated. God is in front of our eyes not something hidden or mysterious. Go and have a look in the mirror. You’ll see one of the faces of God.
well said ...

Great reaction and comments Matt. The Persian language has evolved over thousands of years to serve as the backbone of Persian music and philosophy. It has the means to deliver melodies and convey complex metaphors at the same time. Rumi used both features in the best way possible. I don't mean to nag nor brag, but most Persian poems lose much of meaning and taste when translated to other languages, especially English.
Exactly...

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.

To those who don't know, this is one of the best Persian singers singing the words of one of the greatest poets of all time.
You can see how deep the lyrics touched Matt, however this is the mythical combination of music, vocals and ambience. Welcome to the mystical Persian world Matt
oh man, my mother tongue is persian. The lyric is so heavy and meaningful (typical for RUMI) that I have look for some words in persian dictionary. It is so heart touching lyric that I can cry over it for days :(. Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. I love the english literature either but this one is on another level. My last word : I love RUMI, get known to him, you'd regret it. Love you all stay safe and healthy.
خودت کجایی هستی؟
Please edit your comment. It is tongue, not thong. Mother thong makes it really really funny if you know what a thong is.
There is a divine power in him..don't take him lightly..don't resist against him...you can't control nor hide your emotions..
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.
And also his grandfather
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.
That's what I was gonna say.
The love that Rumi talk about it, it’s like heaven love and universe love ❤️
درود بر استاد همایون عزیز یادگار استاد شجریان بزرگوار که با صدای زیبایت چنگ بر تار دل ما میزنی.
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
It was a beautiful interpretation and I agree
Wow. Its true how did you know that?
Im a persian and as you said here love doesnt mean the love between human. Its between a human and his god.
It's related to the love between human and God.
It starts from human love and then it goes to higher levels.
It actually is not. The ayatollahs after 1979 disaster tried to insert these interpretations into our poetry to make it compatible with Islam!!!! Having said that though that interpretation is not completely false either but is secondary at best.
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 🇮🇷❤️
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
As a persian man... you're god damn right 👍
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. 🙏🏼
Oh, what a marvelous composition they’ve created! It's simply breathtaking how they've weaved together every element to form this exquisite masterpiece. Words cannot express my gratitude for introducing me to this enchanting genre of music. Thank you from the depths of my heart!

Hi Matthew, my name is Sheida and I’m a Persian-American who studied Persian classical music.
I appreciate people like you with a wide horizon in music! You were right about mystical and philosophical Persian music. Please keep in mind the poetry you were hearing and reading in English is from 700 years ago. Shams-e Tabrizi Rumi (pronounces roomie), in order to understand more of his poetry one must get familiar with the environment he lived 7 centuries ago and issues he was involved.
as an Iranian, I tell you friends, Iranian culture and music are much deeper than you think, remember that Iran and Greece are two ancient countries of world civilization, when in the whole world there were only these two civilizations and the rest of the civilizations came after these two civilizations, I hope that the time will come when Iranian culture, civilization and music will find their true place in the world.
Actually your emotional response adds tremendously to the beauty of the music.
Thanks brother.
Thank you for sharing with us this magnificent music. Keep up the great work. 👍
He is not singing about earthy love. Rumi’s poets are all about love of creator and higher consciousness. When he says I cut all my relationship he is pointing to the love to material and earthy love. Thank you for showing this piece in your channel.
That was amazing .the richenesss of music can show clearly the gratness of the calture of that country.❤🎉
Thousands of years of Iranian music
It just talks about feeling
And the feeling is so great
That takes me to heaven
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.
It speaks of love for God, really beautiful❤️🌹
Matt, this was a wonderful choice. Profound, and utterly mesmerising. This music touched me so deep that tears were flowing. Thank you.

This Persian literature is damn rich. The love song you mentioned, I mean.
The music is not something from this world ❤️😍
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!!!!
It’s important to know the musician is the one who makes the mysic and the melody for hamayon ❤i love them both they r genius 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
To understand the deep and wonderful meanings of Iranian poetry, one must learn Persian. Then the pleasure of listening to this concert will be multiplied.
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!
I am Persian and I write some Persian poetry at times myself. And I love this guy, Homayoun Shajarian. 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. 👍
How many times have you heard Michelin star chefs say " let the ingredients speak for themselves"? Well, in musical terms this performance demonstrated just that. Ps, this is the first time I've visited this channel and I must admit Matt's reaction is one of the most intelligent ones I've seen so far. I'd be liking and subscribing :-)
"...I must admit Matt's reaction is one of the most intelligent ones..."!
Definitely!
I killed myself, I did not learn English As an Iranian. If you learn, I can get a scholarship, but English is really hard
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..
Because I am Iranian, because of the rich and beautiful culture of my country, I am the happiest person in the whole world. Master Shajarian and his son are a great treasure and wealth for us Iranians.
This is beyond beautiful.... It inspires divinity within... as it comes from the source...
Persian music unlocks your soul!!!!❤
Luckily my first language is Farsi and I almost know most of the words and sentences, but as Farsi is a very rich language two or three English words are just one word in Farsi and it is a complex language that even I don’t know most of the Farsi words and after thinking a bit about the word I begin to understand the meaning of the word. I love Farsi language ❤️
بیهوده نگفتن پارسی شکر است.
به قول حافظ:
شِکّرشکن شوند همه طوطیان هند
زین قند پارسی که به بنگاله می رود.
Nice but the name of the language in English is Persian. Not Farsi. Just saying. 😉
M.R Shajarian and his son Homayoun Shajarian are the best singer and musician in Iran. They're legend. They combine music and poetry well and give the listener a soul potion.
Cut ties of everyone is fine because it's not talking human love, it's actually talking about the Divine love of God.
Love u all guys
You know what? You nailed it; most of the times I recommend the foreigners not to listen to this music because it’s traditional Persian singing Rumi poetry that is so difficult to understand even for us Persians, but you as an American from a very different culture got the point, even I can see corrected translation, I subscribed to your channel and recommend you react to more Persian songs and poetry, it’s a galaxy you sure won’t regret that
Excellent 👍❤️
i aint gonna lie.. this is the first time i loved an online reaction vid! cheers for you..
As a iranian person l am , l can say that we love our treditional songs soooo much as you do , they are everything about feeling and can take your soul and moving around the beautiful sens of word .
Thanks for listening to our tredition iranian culture❤❤
Matt, you had tremendous insights in this video. Really your commentary in this video is among the best I’ve heard from you. This RUclips channel has clearly been a journey and I think as a community we all are building a greater appreciation for music in all forms and from different cultures
One artist I’ll recommend to you is Vienna Teng. I think one of her most brilliant achievements is a looping cover she performs live that mixes Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers and Lose Yourself by Eminem. As she layers the tracts her creation builds to something I think is genius. Vienna performed this piece during a number of her concerts but I’m sending g you her first live performance of it. Since it’s organically created each time feels different but I’m attached to the one I heard first

Even if you don’t do it as a reaction it’s worth the few minutes to check it out and appreciate talented artists!
