(Reflections on “کیست که از عشق تو پردهٔ او پاره نیست”, “Who is there whose veil has not been torn by love?”)

I. The Cry of the Unveiled Heart

کیست که از عشق تو پردهٔ او پاره نیست
وز قفس قالبش مرغ دل آواره نیست

🌙 بی‌یار مخسب امشب | Do Not Sleep Without the Beloved Tonight

There are nights when the heart trembles with remembrance, when silence itself becomes music, and every breath whispers a single name.
In such nights, love is not a concept, nor an emotion, but a living presence, a …

Few poets of the Persian world blend subtle reasoning and passionate mysticism as elegantly as Saeb Tabrizi. A master of the Indian style (سبک هندی), he often turns abstract ideas into shimmering, tangible images.
This ghazal, brief yet layered, is a dialogue between the mind and the …

Among Hafez’s many love songs, few shimmer as brightly as this ghazal, a meditation on reflection, illusion, and the mystery of love. Each verse turns like a mirror, catching the light of beauty and showing us not the truth itself, but the thousand forms it takes in the dreaming heart.

Exploring Saadi’s Ghazal: “Vaqt-e Tarab Khosh Yaftam Ān Dilbar-e Tanāz Rā”

وقت طرب خوش یافتم آن دلبر طناز را
ساقی بیار آن جام می، مطرب بزن آن ساز را
I found, at the hour of joy, that coquettish beloved again.
Cupbearer, bring the wine! Musician, strike the strings!

A Mystical Reflection Inspired by a Ghazal of Attar of Nishapur

There are loves that live within the world
and there is Love that births worlds.

Attar begins his ghazal with a declaration that strikes at the root of all human understanding:

“The nature of …

In Persian mystic literature, few themes are as enduring as ghurba — estrangement. It is the ache of the soul that has fallen from its homeland of light and now wanders in the dust of separation. Hafez, the poet who made the music of longing immortal, captured this feeling in …

There are loves that illuminate the world,
and there are loves that burn it down.
Saadi Shirazi, the gentle sage of Shiraz, sings of the second kind,
the love that refuses to die, that feeds on its own wounds,
that becomes both poison and cure.

تا بود بار غمت …

Khwāja Shams al-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfeẓ-e Shīrāzī, known simply as Hafez, was born in Shiraz, Persia (modern-day Iran), around 1315 CE and lived until about 1390 CE. He is celebrated as one of the greatest figures in Persian literature and is regarded not only as a master of lyric …

Introduction

There are moments when the mind becomes the veil, not the light.
Rumi, in this fierce and ecstatic ghazal, invites the seeker to stop thinking so much. He challenges the intellect’s constant questioning, warning that thought, if not guided by love, turns into oil feeding the …

This ghazal is one of Hafez’s most heart-wrenching meditations on separation, memory, and the soul’s exhaustion in love.

بی مِهرِ رُخَت روزِ مرا نور نماندست
وز عمر، مرا جز شبِ دیجور نماندست

هنگامِ وداعِ تو ز بس گریه که کردم
دور از رخِ تو، چشمِ مرا نور …

There are poems that whisper, and there are poems that consume.
This ghazal by Attar of Nishapur does not whisper; it burns.
It is not a prayer spoken in calm devotion, but a cry from within the flame itself; the voice of one who has already given everything, even the …

There are some poets whose words feel carved from the bone of longing itself; their verses bleed, ache, and shimmer all at once. Khaqani Shirvani is one such poet. His ghazals are not simply expressions of love; they are storms of anguish, flashes of metaphysical fire that turn pain into …

This is a beautiful ghazal by ʿErāqī (Iraqi) and it is one of the most profound expressions of the Sufi journey from selfhood to annihilation, from worship to wonder, from reason to rapture.

مست خراب یابد هر لحظه در خرابات

گنجی که آن نیابد صد پیر در …

Hafez speaks like someone who has lived inside a single, impossible longing and learned to name every shade of it. In this ghazal he turns the language of desire into a lens: every glance, every wound, every quiet absence becomes a mirror that reflects something larger than the beloved; the …

Beautiful ghazal of Rumi (Jalal ad-Din Balkhi) is among his most mystical and layered. It moves between cosmic vision and intimate yearning, between the night of separation and the dawn of awakening.

بیا کامشب به جان بخشی به زلف یار می‌ماند

جمال ماه نورافشان بدان رخسار می‌ماند

This ghazal by Saadi Shirazi is a luminous example of how the Persian masters weave together sensual beauty and spiritual symbolism until the two become indistinguishable.

چه دل‌ها بردی ای ساقی به ساق فتنه‌انگیزت

دریغا بوسهْ چندی بر زنخدان دلاویزت

خدنگ غمزه از هر سو نهان …

This ghazal by Khaqani Shirvani is among his most poignant reflections on unrequited love, the cruelty of beauty, and the paradox of longing. It lives between human emotion and spiritual symbolism; a cry of the heart that becomes a meditation on the mystery of affection and pain.

طبعِ …

There is a cup, passed from hand to hand, filled with wine that glows in the morning light.
In the gathering of lovers, one hand pours and another receives.
But not all cups are equal — not all hearts are chosen.
And in this difference, in this quiet injustice of …

The human soul is a boundless ocean, yet often, we live as though confined to a small, anxious puddle. We spend our days clinging to the shore of self, convinced our tiny identity is all there is. But there comes a point, a moment of profound recognition, when the …

Every May 15 (25th of Ordibehesht in the Iranian calendar), Iranians around the world commemorate Ferdowsi Day – a celebration of Abul-Qâsem Ferdowsī Tusi (Ferdowsi) and the Persian language. This date also marks Persian Language Day, honoring Ferdowsi as “the most influential figure in Persian literature”. Born around 940 CE …
