Learn Persian with Chaiian Conversation, Lesson 70.

Hello and welcome to Lesson 70 of Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation.

So in Lesson 69, we covered a large portion of the poem Fatibar by Photok Farad, one of Iran's best known poets.

And as I said in that episode with our dear friend Fataddi, this is one of my favorite poems, because to me, it embodies the nature of true love,

not the love that society expects you to have, but love that transcends societal norms and

pressures. And I thought a lot about this poem actually when I was getting married, and

specifically this portion that we're going to learn in these next few lessons.

So it was really hard to pick one spot to focus on and memorize because the whole poem is so good and ripe with great vocabulary.

So I've decided to actually include some of that vocabulary as bonus vocabulary to learn with each lesson.

So you can do that on your

own. But the three stanzas I'm going to focus on, I believe really get to the heart of her

message in the poem. So without going any further, let's listen to this portion as read to us

allegedly by Furuk Barrostadt, although I have to note that I actually haven't been able to verify

that this is really Furukukbarrostad.

So I'm not going to put my money on it.

There are some doubters out there.

But either way, the person reading this version does a beautiful job and will link to the whole thing on this lesson so you can listen to it yourself.

It's on YouTube.

But let's listen along as she reads the section of the poem.

We're going to be learning.
