Mohammadreza Shajarian - Gholame Cheshm | REACTION 

It’s not a prayer. He is singing a love-story poem from Hafez. He has many songs with instruments in this specific melody, called Bayat-e-Tork. Because his vocals were so strong, he could afford to sing with no instruments. As a reference, his album, called Be Yadeh Aref (In the memory of Aref) is in Bayat-e-Tork as well, but with instruments.

that’s not pry or... He singing deep Persian poems with his exceptional vocal and with his own style and art 🔥🔥🔥

He is reading one of Hafez’s poems which is some kind of mystical one. It’s beyond any religion. It is about “LOVE”. The title "Golame Cheshm" means the servant of (the lovers) eyes.

The lyrics of the song is one of the romantic and mystical poems of Hafez, the great Iranian poet, which Master Shajarian has recited with great beauty and skill. Of course, you are not used to this style of music and you can not understand it. This type of music, which is considered the original Iranian music, is very enjoyable for us. Thank you so much for your reaction. I hope you enjoy the beauty of the master's voice and the sense of beauty that is in his music.🙏🏻

We call this type of singing “Avaz” it’s with out any instruments playing only the power of the singer’s voice which many singers wouldn’t dare to do😅 The lyrics is not from quran,it’s a love poem of the greatest poet ever “Hafez”👌🏼🌷

Shajarian was not a political leader, ethics teacher, soufi, or popstar. He needn't be one. He was the voice of his people.

این صدا انگار مستقیم از خود بهشت داره میاد نور به قبرت بباره تاج سر ملت ایران❤️🙏🏻

You really are so brave for searching so deep in traditional music of Persia . No doubt even without the lyrics you can close your eye ( when u are not in front of camera 😅 ) and travel in time only by listening . Imagine other ppl who used to listen to Hafiz or Rumi’s poems ages ago . History would never repeat such a great poets again and thanks to master Shajarian he sang so many of them with and without instruments with his divine voice . It’s like surfing . Feeling up and downs of the poem . He was the only one in Iran’s music history who was able to this . We are so blessed for having Homayoun . He reminds me of him . RIP

and here a translation: [1] Mine is an eye ,blood - shedding on account of the eye of that bow eyebrow Full of tumult will become the world on account of that eye ,and of that eyebrow . [2] The slave of the eye I am of that saucy one such that ,in the sweet sleep of intoxication , The adorned rose - bed is her face and the musky canopy ,her eyebrow . [3] Through this grief ,my body became lean and slender like a crescent moon .For ,notwithstanding her musky dark fragrant writing the decorated eyebrow Where is the moon that ,from the arch of sky will dare show its eyebrow [4] The watchers careless unacquainted with my secrets and ,momently ,from that eye and forehead ,ours Are a thousand kinds of message and ,the curtain between them is the eyebrow . [5] To the soul of the corner - sitters ,the beauty of the rose - bed is only a little of his beauty On the border of whose sward ,a saunterer becometh the eyebrow . [6] Notwithstanding such beauty ,again none speaketh of the Hur and the Par Saying : Of this the Hur is like this ,the eye ; and of that the Pari like that ,the eyebrow . [7] Thou ,Kafir of heart ,bindest not the veil of thy tress .I fear That my prayer - arch will turn ,the curve of that heart - ravishing eyebrow . [8] Although ,in possessing fidelity ,Hafiz is the wise bird yet Him ,with the arrow of the glance ,prey made ,the eye of that bow eyebrow . dynamiclexicon.com/hafez/res.php?word=sky%20them&language=eng

he's the best. he always stood by Iranian people.

Iranian music has two parts avaz and tasnif The avaz of this music that you heard is a quiet music based on the ability of the singer's voice But the rhythmic part of Iranian music is like the song "Morgh Sahar Tasnif"

Shajariam is a Persian legend and we are lucky to have Homayoon as a precious legacy from him❤❤❤

this track is one of theme tracks of an Iranian movie called "Delshodegan" (those who have lost their hearts to beloved ones). main charachter of the movie is a singer and in this scene he is singing lonely under an arch.thats why there is no instrument. and master shajarian actually went to a mountain alone and took a tape recorder with him and recorded this peace of Art. as others have mentioned in comments its a love story by Hafez(the most skilled poet who Goethe was influenced by ). its like sonnet in english poetry,best examples are in William Wordsworth and Shakespeare. there is a deep connection between Persian Avaz(this type that you hear in this track) and Persian poetry. You see hafez was a singer himself and was skilled in singing persian Avaz. you might think of understanding persian music as a big uncut precious gem in a hidden cave and the only tool to cut it is Persian language. Now there is one question: do you need this gem or not?

We Iranians are proud of him. he saved our culture

Goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyrics are by Hafez (14th Century), The system which the song is sung is called "Bayate Tork" The mode in this system is called "Rooh Ol Arvah", which means " The Spirit of All Spirits" and because of such spiritual tone, you are correctly impressed that it sounds like a prayer (which is not). This is a soundtrack from the Movie " Del Shodegan" 1992 , a movie about the Iranian classical musicians in Ghajar era and their struggle to release their first Record which takes them on a journey to France. All the songs in this movie are sung by Mohammadreza Shajarian and are composed by Maestro "Hossein Alizadeh".

UNBELIEVABLE vocal and GREAT poem.

Oh this song is from heaven, thank you غلام چشم آن ترکم....

3:50 It’s not a prayer, the lyrics are telling a love story!!!

It's a piece of a poem of Hafiz, one of the Iranian poetry pillars, died 630 years ago, a household name who is known for his divine love poetry, conveying mystic messages in poems of fine delicacy, which was performed by Maestro Shajarian in such way that resembles to prayers or hymns. If someone wants to truly savour such level of Iranian classical poetry and music, it requires them to get immersed in the context of divine love... If so, the soul would get the true message of the words and get touched in an undescribable level. That would be one liberating experience.

Master shajarian live in we hurt for ever

Excellent and beautiful for your reaction

This Technique in Persian is Called Tahrir or ChahChahe, I think Someone In English Called it Glottal Catch

tnx for your reaction.it's poetry

So amazing sooooo bravooooo

The mindset in Persian traditional music is quite different from the modern commercial approach to music, where we have five-minute songs with catchy choruses, designed to be easily digested. It's like the difference between a gourmet meal and fast food. "Saz o Avaz" (this form of Persian traditional music with free rhythm and complicated improvised melodies) is supposed to be contemplative, and it's indifferent to listener's instant gratification from cheap tricks.

Darling your mind and heart are a piece of art! You must be the coolest guy on earth :)

Shajaian👉❤️❤️❤️

From Persia with love ❤️ and 😘

It's one the best poem of Hafez. It's just about love and beauty of the love, human love pure without any religious background

Mohammad Reza Shajarian had sung poem from ancient poet like Hafez, Saadi, Molana

Wow,this voice one is gold in the world,thanks bro.🙏❤👌

This vocal is also on a scene of a romance movie about persian musicians. It's called "delshodegan"

please react to "Koroush yaghmaei - gole yakh"

You may be wondering why Iranian classical style singers use"ha" a lot because in the past, Iranians imitate the sound of nightingales to sing

😁It needs to be translated even in persian😊 so impressive and beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏👏

It's persian with arabic alphabet. What a beautiful poem and awesome voice.

other than Rabbana that you played which was from Quran and religious... the rest of Shajarian songs are from ancient Iranian poetries from 700 to 1000 years ago and have nothing to do with religion ,

You are so right for a person who don't know Farsi ,this kind of singing , sound like a religious ! But he just singing the Hafez poem and I think it's from the movie called دلشدگان delshodghan movie (which is fantastic movie)

keep going man,very nice, he is a Legend

The lyrics are from Hafiz, the great mystic poet of Persia in 14th century. Indeed to a foreign ear it might sounds like Quran recital or prayer but if I'm not mistaken this tune is in Bayat Turk which is a subcategory of Shur which is one of the most important modals of Persian traditional music.

the meaning of this song is"I am a slave to her eyes" The Lyrics of this song is by the great Hafez First, he describes the beauty of his love eyes and eyebrows And he says that the beauty of his love eyes has captured him! Eye beauty is very important in Persian literature The meaning of this Lyrics is really beautiful, I wish you knew Persian

Hafiz is a great iranian poet. almost every iranian have one quran in their home and one book of hafiz " divaan-e hafiz". His poem are about gnostical love and metaphysical issues. Master Shajarian(R.I.P) sang some of that poems in his life. Thank you for your reaction. Hope you enjoy that however maybe knowing persian language is nescessary for songs without instruments.

Hello, I am from Iran..Master Mohammad Reza Shajarian was a great singer of our national music and he left very beautiful works and I suggest you to listen to it..I have no Iranian music like anywhere else in the world..you only tune in to Iranian music You can find Greater Iran..Thank you

can not say how proud i feel... the Master being watched after he passed away. this is true art... shines, even after the creator is not there any more , respoect to you Mace

These are all poems from famous poets like hafiz, sa’di, etc. mostly love poems. This way of singing is called avaaz in Persian traditional music and they are NOT religious at all. (In some cases they may have spiritual meanings too; Sufism for instance)

I'm waiting for your reaction whole day 🤗🤗🤗💜

I have just saw your Chanel and I’m so glad to see you trying to discovering musics and songs and you may understanding them . To me you seems open mind person, good on u and appreciates 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️

Your reaction is beautiful. Thank you

Thanks man. BTW what he sings here is on of the Hafez's poems, an iranian legendary poet. Let's not forget about his glottal tune technics which is hard to acheive in this level even for most of the masters

Thank you sir

This is a dashti song. Shepherd's who were leading the herd in the steppes and plains usually sang very sad songs. This is a modern rendition of those.

I recommend you 1. Tasnife Gholab 2.Man koja baran koja 3. Khoob shod homayoun shajarian. They are the best.

You know why there is no instruments? The instrument player refused to play, coz this AVAZ is beautiful without any instruments. Watch the movie DELSHODEGAN, it's all there

Thank you for your attention to the works of Master Shajarian🙏

It’s a love poem by Hafiz. Gholame Chashm means the slave of your eyes.

i love these reaction videos👍🙏

thank u for sharing this

hello Mr mace the piece of art that you just listened is called Saz o avaz there is an entire philosophy behind it. that philosophy is called ERFAN . it means knowing in word and it's definition is is that someone is trying to totally forget everything about material and materialism and gets out of the world and his body and travels towards his creator which is the one and only Allah.so the main difference between religion and and so called ERFAN is that you you actually fall in pure love with your God and creator and the only reason that you worship it and the only reason that you you leave the world is it you want to meet him just because you love him and and you love the way that your relationship is. it is actually a long and time-consuming matter-of-fact and I just wanted to to give you a little hint about what you just hurt and thank you for you pure and honest reactions

fantastic

These are actually very rarely prayers! In fact, usually the opposite. About lovers, wine, fleeting nature of life...etc They are mainly Persian poetry of Hafez, Sa’di, Khayam, Rumi etc Probably really just the one “Rabanah” is an actual prayer! Legendary man though!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It a poem of Hafez one of the greatest poets and its about appreciation of eyes of a turkish princess. If love is a religion this could be one of the best religious prayers of all time I would say.

I didn't know who you're but, and from now on I will follow you on youtube. Thank you so much

If you learn farsi you'll know that beautiful purpose of this poem. Hafez did great things in all his poems.

Well done mace! You are one open minded nusic lover.

Our grand master of music...

the song is part of an Iranian movie entitled as "Delshodegan"

This is not a prayer or anything as such. It is a love story.

This was performed for a movie called "Delshodegan (or Love-stricken)": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love-stricken You can find another musical part of this movie as follow: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1pBnEWKcbQU.html&start_radio=1

Tnx mace.

Thanks

You know! In Persian classic music, the lyric is so important. That's why singers usually sing poetries of great poets in order to give u the great meaning and content. Also, each meaning requires a specific form of music which is called "DASTGAH دستگاه (=system)". for example DASHTI system is for sad mood or mourning.In other words, content and form should match! that's the way to convey your message! Thus, understanding the lyric is almost a "must". cuz classical music wants to give u something and not just feel it!

I recommend you "Gonbade mina" by Mohammad Reza shajarian. The instrumentals of this song are just for an other world..

Awesome

Wow! :) If you can "digest" that, I recommend the album "Gole Sadbarg" by Shahram Nazeri. You can react to any piece with singing on that album (there are instrumental parts as well). It is marvellous. Maybe you react to "Zarbi, Bayate Tork" (Che danestam). It is the very last piece of the abum. Mesmerising! And the lyrics are the very same as the "Avaz" by Homayoun Shajarian, but in my mind, I always will hear them with Nazeri's voice and melody :)

I was captured by his voice at an early age.

This type of music is so deeply related to old culture of iran One have to learn things on what is love in iraninan culture My recommendation is just react to the artistic aspect of his vocal or the instrument Other than that the way iraninan express their love in poetry is amazingly different and deep, specially when they describe the beauty of a lover for example by comparing the beauty and softness of skin to flower and so on When there is a shout in singing it's like when you shout sadly when you can't reach someone or something you want.

Persian poems are based on Mystical states, poets in the Persian history were delivered meaning of the love,life,human, goodness, kindness، liberation, salvation, in the universe through the deep beautiful Persian language! One of the remarkable message that most of the poems are delivering is to not depends on Worldly materials..!! So Just imagine hearing those beautiful messages through the exceptional Mohammed Rezza Shajarian vocal..!! thats why you feel peace ✌️ Thank you for the smart choice🙏🙏

It’s a poem from Hafeez, a famous poet who Gote adored him

این بنده خدا رپ گوش میده ببین چه اهنگ سنتی بهش پیشنهاد دادن😂 ما ایرانیها چون خودمون عاشق شجریانیم توقع داریم همه اون رو گوش بدن

Hello Thank you very very much for your affords to make known our great side of culture and music to the world. This is a piece of vocals called AVAZ /ɒvɒz/ and the poem is from Hafez (a famous ancient persian poet). It was performed by demand of director Ali Hatami in 1992 for his historical romantic drama movie: DELSHODEGAN, for a scene, in that, a singer is falled in love with a turkish princess, who, he can not reach to. It is performed in a frame called BAYAT E TORK. The primitive record was recorded by shajarian himself alone with a small recorder(walkman) in a mountain and then the quality was increased by equipments in studio.

Hi Thanks for the great Job you do، This poem or song is by Hafez, the most famous and popular Persian Poet

Very very beautiful 💖💖💖💖

👑The king of Iranian music👑

This kind of music (not the lyrics) is called "آواز" "aavaaz". It means no instruments are included. Now "Saaz o aavaaz" would also include instruments, but still no rhythm. Whereas, "ghet'eh" is a piece of music that only includes instruments (no vocals). and in the end, there is "Tasneef" which includes vocals and instruments with rhythm. :)

He is talking about the eyes of the beloved ..

Fantastic choice. I wish you could understand Persian language. This is just amazing. It's like looking at a beautiful painting, artwork.

Thank you Mace. Btw, not only this is not from Qur’an, but as a matter of fact it’s part a Ghazal from Hafez, who’s not very popular among religious people! In most of his poems and this one included, Hafez uses very clear signs of love to a female beloved. Some of his fans saying Hafiz uses man-woman love as a metaphor for the love between human kind and the God. Others say there’s no reason to have such a sophisticated interpretation of Hafiz when the words are directly conveying what they supposed to. And this debate has been ongoing for about 700 years now. Just for your information dear Mace; the favorite poet of Shajarian is not Hafez, it is Omar Khayyam.

I alweas listen this song

Peaceful .

This song is all about love, the great Hafez Shirazy said the poem centuries ago. Hafez is all about love

Hi The poem is from hafez the great poet who leaved in 13th century.

Do the same reaction from him more please

This is a poem from Hafeze Shirazi an Iranian poet !

Hi! This is a voalization of a poem of Hafiz of Shiraz (The great Persian (Iranian) poet). This kind of vocalization is called Avaz. It is not praying or religious.

🌟In traditional type of musics in iran we have 2 style : 1. Tasnif( morghe sahar) 2. Avaz( rabana or gholame cheshm)

امیدوارم خارجیها بیشتر با موسیقی ما ‌اشنا شوند.

You shouldn't miss Mohamadreza Shajarian's song which was his last one in Iran because of its lyrics which was against the government so that Islamic Republic didn't let him to do any live performance in Iran after that. Its an extremely epic song for the protests of Green Movement of Iran people. The name of that song is "Shajarian- Zabane Atash" which litteraly means "the language of Fire" sarcastically means "the Gun". the lyrics starts with "Tofangat raa zamin bogzar" which means "Put your gun down".
