Hafez Payoman Nasim, Part 4.

Hello and welcome to part four of our discussion on Hafez's Hayomen Nassim.

After this lesson, we'll be past the halfway point for our poem.

And like I said the last time, I think that lines three and four are the most challenging

of all the lines, so this week might seem like a breeze to you.

So first, let's listen to my Aunt Farnas, recite the first three complete lines of the poem.

We've covered the first two already, so they should be very familiar to you.

Zikou of y'ar, me aeem of bade norozy.

As in bad, madat chah, d'il, barafrozee.

Chou gul gher chued-dil, Bara-Frozzar-chordy D'-Dar-Gurd-y,

Goda-sarf-E-Ref-D-Kon,

that's Okay, so like I'm Gawarrae Be Gulzharah,

Oh,

Galsar, ay, Kasal Gavent Bia mousie.

Okay, so like I said, those first two sections

should be very clear.

Now let's go over the last two lines which will be going over.

Be Sahra Rookon,

to as daman quarkam, beafshani. Be Gulzar, ay, which will be going over.

All right. Now I want to start off by saying that I absolutely love these lines.

And now that I know them, I think about them all the time.
