A beautiful Definition Of Music (Persian)

a beautiful definition of music in persian

قداست موسیقی

ای موسیقی

ای اهتزاز نغمه های بر خاسته از جهانهای دور

ای آه فرشتگان که از دل ما بر می خیزد

هنگامی که کلمات از بیان باز می مانند ،

و هنگامی که یکدیگر را در آغوش گرفتن

و اشارات چشم و ابرو

و اشکها

از بیان باز می مانند ،

هنگامی که دلهای بی زبان ما

در پشت میله های آهنین سینه هایمان

 تنها و بی کس، لال می مانند،

در آن هنگام است ،ای موسیقی،

 که تنها تو می توانی آدمیان را در سیاه چالشان با هم دمساز کنی

  و تنها تو می توانی آه های آدمیان را از پهنه های دور گرد آوری و به گوش یکدیگر برسانی.

                                ژان پل

نظامی در خسرو شیرین آنجا که شیرین سخنان خود را به نکیسا می گوید تا با چنگ خویش به گوش خسرو

برساند در یک جا ناگهان آهی می کشد و به نکیسا می گوید: این آه را برایش بفرست، این آه را برایش بنواز.
