Homayoun Shajarian | What Have I Known? | همایون شجریان -چه دانستم-آرایش غلیظ | first time reaction. 

This power of Iranian music and song is due to the Persian language, which has a power beyond imagination and beyond time and place

My husband just passed away from Covid. As a Persian who understands Rumi ( Molana). I feel my sweet darling husband is all over the universe watching me and smiling down on us praying Covid will stop destroying us . God take care of him .. AMEN

Composer of "Game of Thrones" series Ramin Javadi،He is Iranian and is inspired by Iranian classical music 💖👍🥰

WoW!! This man- is he singing and crying both? Deeply passionate- I’ll watch for more Hap- thank you!

This masterpiece......is epic ❤ years of experience makes perfection ❤

I was picturing a desert 🌵 🐫 wow his voice is very peaceful. I was able to just relax myself n enjoy his singing. Thanks for introducing amazing artists around the world, Hap 🎧🎶

Translation of the poem (Che Danestam): How could I know? This desire would drive me so insane, Turn my heart into an inferno, Flood my eyes with a deluge -------------------------------------------- How could I know? A torrent Would carry me so sudden And Throw me like a ship Amidst an ocean of blood And strike that ship with a wave That would break every plank And each plank would fall In divergent spins -------------------------------------------- A leviathan would then raise its head And drink all the water And such endless ocean Would turn dry like a desert -------------------------------------------- When these changes came to pass Neither ocean remained nor desert And I know not why For this uncertain is drowned in the absolute -------------------------------------------- Questions are abound Yet I know none For I drank in this sea, a morsel From the opiate of silence (RUMI)

Until now I have only read Rumi poetry. Now to experience it through this incredible artist is magical. Your reaction appreciates both artists. Peace J

Homayoun is a legend❤️♥️❤️♥️

I love you Iran 🇮🇷♥️🇹🇯

Beautiful song - both the vocal and the instrumental. Both are haunting and have a texture to them that would make a phenomenal movie score. Thank you for including subtitles. I will be listening to this more than once, that's for sure!

Persian music is fantastic

This poem is by Rumi, experts think about what he is saying for years and years and everyone comes up with different answers, some say that this poem is describing a person who is trying to know god, and his whole life (the ocean) gets devistated after knowing just a little bit, all his beliefs (the ship) fall down, and his life turns into a desert and he gets pulled into insanity, and as u told song is somehow confusing and hypnotising to give u a little bit of the confusion and etc. that the guy mentioned above is feeling

Wow, your understanding of the song was really good, even some Persians sometimes have problems translating complexity of Rumi's poems, this song especially, kudos to you!

put you in sense of holyness , poetry , garden full butter flies and light , water and light shinning

I Love the part it says "I just had a bubble of this ocean that made me unconcise" imagine swimming in the ocean. I had no idea getting into this (meaning loving God) will breaks me apart. listening to this poem/song over hundred times still not enough.

Hi from Iran, This is a poem by a fifth century poet (Rumi), in ancient Persian language. It’s full of metaphor, But you almost guessed what it meant.

همایون از پدرش بهترمیخونه

Your interpretation on this music was so good. I was enjoying your comments here and there, added nice element to feel this song. His voice is very beautiful. I agree, peaceful 🎆🎶 Great reaction as always.

I feel over the moon that not just us ,as Iranian does respect for homayon shajaryan . I proud of him . Love him

من خودم فارسی زبان و ایرانی هستم باور کنید وقتی این آهنگ و ترانه می‌شنوم جانم از قالب بدن میخواهد خارج شود

All I can do is cry ….. every emotion …. Every experience runs through my soul … I want to reach out to GOD and ask him why ??? Why was I born ??? Why an I so lonely ???? I can’t even put it into words !

In Iranian traditional music we call this going up and down the voice "Tahrir". And homayoun and his father are our legends.

The mystry of Rumi poem, the magic of Homayoun voice and the incredible composition of song...what a perfect combination. Wonderful...when I listen to this song, I envision myself flying over the earth... I recommend you to listen to TASNIFE GHOLAB by HOMAYOUN as well.

I am Persian. This song is about falling in love with God which is wonderful and painful at the same time. In fact, this song is kind of prayers. Talking to God and saying how wonderful is when you feel emotional stress and anxiety caused by love when you are making love to God and trying to reach him. You know these kinds of subjects are not easy to explain....

Hamayoun is a legend, he is singing a great poet of a thinker and poet Rumi, check him out

مایه افتخار ایرانی و مباهات جهانی هستی پسر. روح استاد عزیز محمد رضا شجریان شاد

wooooooooow that’s really hypnotic i see myself spinning and dancing in both ocean side and top of a mountain, mind blowing,my goodness

I'm for sure so happy and proud to be understanding persian language and can feel the music. There's a lot of spirit both in the poem and music, one should know the culture and the history to fully enjoy it . It's so rich in poem ( rumi) ,a great voice and great composer . Just love it .

Greetings to Homayoun Shajarian and greetings to the original Iranian music Greetings to Cyrus the Great Greetings to Dariush Greetings to Iran Zamin

I find my self in the sky flying fast and enjoying not connected to the earth any more. If you knew the lyrics that would have redirect your feelings. Homayoun is able to make absolut connection to human soul regardless

It’s hypnotic for sure!

Great job bro. Please react to his Iraneman. He does an absolutely amazing job of combining classic Iranian music with western operatic music which is remarkable and very tastefully done not to mention unusual. Thanks for the great job. I am a huge fan!

This Homayoun Shajarian is the son of the great master of our country Iran, Mohammad Reza Shajarian, the great man of Iranian history. Unfortunately, he passed away some time ago and made all the people of Iran sad. He became eternal in the history of the eternal world with his heavenly voice. He taught singing to Homayoun. And now we hear his powerful celestial and beautiful voice that is unparalleled in the world. I suggest you the song (Shatak)(.Vokoli)(koly.)( Bazme to)

When I listen to him my vision I see the ocean I and beautiful dream is fantastic I don’t know what to say wow wow wow wow wow I went to his concert when he came To US

موسیقی فاخر ایرانی ❤❤❤❤❤

قربون صدای الهیت برم

افتخار ميكنم ايراني هستم

Homayun çox böyük sənətkardır.səs bənzərsiz səsdir.

Prophet Homayoun, the legend❤️🇮🇷 Many thanks for the reaction bro❤️

Why not come to Iran? With an 8,000-year history, Iran greets all tourists with an open face. After arriving in Iran, you will surely be surprised by the low price of equipment and food. We, the people of Iran, welcome you with open arms

He's legend for iranian people Thank you for reaction 👍👏

Wow ... Amazing song 💓💓💓

صدای ملکوتی همایون ،فرزند خلف خسرو آواز و اسطوره ایران زمین

I can see myself in the middle of the desert with one girl that has long red dress walking near the river and her dress dancing in the wind... Sorry my English sucks😅

the poet is much much deeper than a sea and dessert. these are more in kind of philosophical dream.

yes it is poem by Persians (Hafez) BOOK .HE IS THE BEST AND THE ONLY ONE CAN SIGN LIKE THIS . I AM SO PRIDE OF HIM PERSIAN LEDGEN.

When he starts singing he takes you well beyond this world. The Holy, magical voice he's got, is out of this world.. The lyrics are poem from a famous poet called mulana.. This is out of body experience. Humayons voice, takes you out of this physical world and beyond..

Since I speak Persian, I'd like to tell you something that might improve the translation. First, many of the Persian poems are metaphorical, making even native speakers interpret them differently. I reckon the title must be read as "how should I have known?". For example, the first verse will be something like this "How should I have known that this love would bring me such a misery and pain?".

Wooooow

Hi, he has got a very trained voice as well as beautiful, one can imagine. This style of traditional Persian singing is called "Tahrir" which is basically trembling& shaking the voice with element of melancholy in it. I don't quite know exact synonym for it in English. I suppose there is no similar style in classical music when you listen to tenors like pavarotti. The poem is from Rumi the renown persian spiritual poet of 13th century. Although you dont understand Persian language but your reaction & analogy of this song/artist tells otherwise & a lot. Well done

The Lyrik is about a famous poem from the famous and world renowned Persian Poet who in Iran in known as "Molana" and in the west as "Rumi".

what have I known is not only about global warming It actually is about the way that the Allah (Real God) Governs things around us , we fear something it happens right after we think about it and we love something and it never comes around... and you never know that the bad thing that happened to you made you stronger and the Good thing could cause Immense damage to your soul and life The Entropy of Discipline

سلندیون و ماری کری رو به مبارزه میطلبد...ای وای

The Iranian and Farsi are the same, Farsi is the language and Iranian is people of Iran, Homayoun is the son of tge very famous Iranian Singer his name is Mohamad Reza.

If you get acquainted with Persian like people like Jules Moll and Turner Makan, then you will understand how great and powerful Persian language is.

remember most of these poetry are spiritual and that is why is so beautiful.

موسیقی ایرانی روح شما را به جنبش می آورد برعکس موسیقی غرب که بیشتر جسم را به جنبش می اورد

You can react to ( rag e khab) by Homayoun Shajarian

in Persian culture, there are two teams, knowledge and love, and the highest level of knowledge is to know and believe in God, and the highest level of all love is to love God. our poetry have mostly spiritual meaning, and are very deep, and complex, and as I said before it get lost in translation, so if you are not born and rise in this culture and are not fa miler with language in deeper level its hard to reach the feeling that this music and poetry can offer.

Wow.. just Wow.

هنر نزد ایرانیان است و بس

I really enjoyed it as an Iranian, this song really gives a different feeling to me, I felt like I was walking in the desert with flowing sand next to a small lake With palm trees and with camels

His mam is. Ho,maa,yoon _ sha,ja,ree,yaan

As you said, actually we have lots of "sea" word in this poem as a symbol, you so good communicate with song.

It makes u think u are At the sea side at the same time in the desert at the same time floating in the sky!!!!

Wow! Double wow! Amazing is my two cents bro!

Fantastic👍 shajaryan is the best 😍

my picture: sitting around the fire with my friends right in the middle of beautiful deserts of Yazd (beautiful city in Iran) looking at stars just chillin... cause it gives a smooth opposite sense with the rivers and oceans in music, gives me the goosebumps! How world can be complicated?!

The voice goes through the skin and runs in the blood and pierces in the bones which explodes and gives such a strong emotion at the same time makes u drunk!!!

The poem of this work is by Maulana (Rumi), a famous Iranian poet and mystic who migrated to the West and Turkey after the Mongol invasion of Iran. And because he lived and died in Turkey, the Turks consider him a native of Turkey. He does not have a poem in Turkish. And it does not have a single couplet of poetry in Turkish. And all his poems are in Persian. Even his teachers were Iranian. But unfortunately, because the Europeans and Americans have little information about him, they were deceived by Turkey and registered Maulana(Rumi) as Turkey and a Turkish poet !!!! However, Maulana (Rumi) and his thoughts know no boundaries and belong to all of humanity. One of his teachings is to live in the moment. This means "treasure of presence". Singer Homayoun Shajarian is a singer of traditional Iranian music and it is a unique work that only artists and musicians understand its value. If you understand the meaning of poetry, you will go crazy and head to the mountains and the desert. So much so that this poem is valuable and meaningful. Rumi speaks of the unknown, that everything he has discovered and learned, he has just realized that he does not know anything ... Rumi's purpose in expressing this poem is in fact to face the unanswered questions that arise for every human being in the universe. What distinguishes this poem from the rest of Rumi's poems is the philosophical expression of the world and much more difficult questions about existence and non-existence, and that this helpless man, even in his most advanced form, carries a backpack of unanswered questions. And this is the human ignorance of the various phenomena and truths of this universe, which he says in poetry. Mustapha from Iran❤❤❤🌳🌳🌺🌺🌳🌳❤❤❤🌻🌻🌴🌴🌷🌷🌿

Homayoun Shajarian is a legend, the king of the Persian land. Like his father Mohammad Reza Shajarian who will remain a legend .

You want to know where we listen to this kind of music? In our happy times , sad times, Our life is something like this music.

خدایی استاد همایون❤️❤️❤️❤️

No one has a voice like him He’s much better than his dad 1 to 10 I give him 1000000 Naza nafaset azizam ❤️🙏🌹❤️🙏🌹❤️🙏🌹❤️🙏🌹❤️🙏🌹❤️🙏🌹

Farsi is the language, and Persian is a nationality.

Hi, Thank you many times for your heart felt reaction. Boy listening to his voice lifts me up to heaven with tears. Lyrics are all about love between him and his creator...it is soo deep that must be described in vast persian language to do just.

His father was an amazing classical singer too! Houmayoon is well_taught music man🙂

He is homayoun shajariyan and it is best singer of Iranian music

I don't know anyone told you or not; but its about Addiction

This is about life . Rumi is trying to say that he could have never imagined life would put him through such trials and tribulations . When he says : I didn’t know that I was would be thrown into an ocean on a ship and the waves would rip the ship apart into pieces of wood twirling and a giant whale would drink all the water of the ocean ? There are many unknowns in life and I went through so many heart aches. Rumi ( molana) was a philosopher. He’s so deep and is questioning our existence . Homayoon brings it into a different level with the composition and his up and down voice . It’s a very sad yet beautiful way of questioning the unknowns . We all want to know why ? The questions ! And some of us turn to God , some become spiritual , some believe once we die that the end and there is no God , some are agnostics . I personally believe that there is a God and converted to Christianity. Because Jesus was LOVE . I’d rather believe in pure love , unconditional love toward anyone like the way my dog loves me no matter what . He’s loyal and loving even when I’ve been somewhat not so nice to him , he loves me . He has taught me to love love love and has changed me in so many ways . Life is unpredictable even if and when we do everything right . When we think , speak or do unkind and deceitful things , we all pay the price 10 fold . Being kind when others are hurting you is difficult isn’t it ? But if one reaches a high level of consciousness, then and only then one can forgive, and love others unconditionally

Homayoun is a legend,master ...

This poem has a political message in it. Just like how a big sea becomes dry and turns into a desert , this regime has done such a thing with Iran, wasting all its resources on corroption, governmental terrorism, silencing free voices and finally makes a real hell on the earth for Iranian people.

I imagine a desert, vast , warm, which is by the sea. So beautiful . So mysterious.
