Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation.

Rumi's Divan, Divaunisho.

In this lesson, we'll be going over the next two lines of the poem.

Let's listen to the part we learned last week as well as what we'll be learning

this week as read by Thadid Shafinoudi.

Heilat rahakun, ah shehwanisho, divanisho,

and in der dele of atashdara,

pervanehoreish, parvanehro.

Ham chishra bighanekon,

Ham chan rae'i rae'i'a w'hahebaughan'a'am chanisho, ham-chonisho.

Wonderful. So you should have completely understood those first two lines, and now we're going to go over the next two. Let's listen to those by themselves again.

Ham chishra biganekon. Ham chanerra virea khanerah bhae con. One gah bhaebae a sheghan,

Ham-chane shaw,

Ham-chonisho,

so first of all, in that first line,

it's the first time we've broken away from saying shoh as the last word.

In this case we say,

k'n, which we've heard before.

In the very first line of the poem, we heard Raholkon, which meant to free.

And as we went over, con is short for bocon, which is to do in the second person informal

command form.

So you informal do, basically.
