👆👆Learn Arabic (MSA + dialects) through Arabic series/movies👆👆

It’s usually said that the Persian language hasn’t been changed very much for the past 1000 years; that’s true, for example the lyric of the above song👆 dates back to almost 800 years ago, nevertheless there are only a few words that an average native speaker of Persian wouldn’t know the meaning and the majority of these words are actually used in everyday speech.

In order to appreciate the lyric/poem even more, one needs to have some extra-linguistic knowledge as well; for example the Biblical/Qur’anic stories of Pharaoh – Moses and Jacob – Joseph.

Poem by: Rumi (1207 – 1273 AD) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumi)

Singer: Shahram Nazeri

Translation by: A.J. Arberry
