Learn Persian with trying conversation.

Rumi's Divan Von Nisho.

In this lesson, we're going to be going over the last two lines of this beautiful poem.

So at this point, I want to play the entire poem as read by Fatid Shafinuti.

But as you're listening, I want you to repeat the lines along with him as much as you can.

Hopefully at this point, you've been memorizing along the way and can say most of the words.

And I just want to say that one thing about Iranian culture

is that people traditionally have so many of these classic poems memorized.

And once you memorize them,

you find that they become relevant in more and more day-to-day situations.

You'll be able to relate to life occurrences in different ways,

deal with situations differently,

by recalling these lines and reciting them. And ultimately, you can use them generally when communicating

in Persian as well. Many of the words and phrases in classical Persian poetry are the same ones

used in conversation today. So you're just building the vocabulary you can use in everyday

conversation.

So with all that said, let's listen and recite along with Faddi.

He let's rahakun, ah shehah, diwanisho, diwanisho,

and in der dele of atash, pervane show, pervane show.

Ham chishra biganekon, Ham-chanae Rhae-Kahn-Wan-A-Wan-A-Shi-Ghan-Haw, H'-Khan-Haw-Shine-Ros-Sin'h, Chon Sinehah Hafta abshu As kine Rah, Ch'in'ra, Haph'd a-a-a-a-p-shu, as kinehah, vangh, sharaeb of-h-h-hrave-a-h-h-h-h-h-h-haw. P'an-haw. Be'y'-haw-y, to laikhine-shaw-y. Gersu of Mastan Miro, M hopefully at this point you understood everything except for those very last two lines.

And let's just listen to those last two lines again, see if you can pick out any of the vocabulary before we go over it.

So just as we usually do, let's start with the command.
