Mohsen Namjoo is an Iranian singer-songwriter, author, musician, setar player and actor-born in 1976 in Torbat-e Jam, a small town in northeastern Iran. New York Times called Namjoo Iran's Bob Dylan. His music and words are very emotional and, in his works, he creates a fusion between various styles from traditional Iranian to blues and rock .

Lyrics by Tahereh Ghoratolein, a remarkable classic poet, born in 1817, a brave and brilliant Iranian woman, and one of the founders of the Baha'i religion, which teaches unity and one-worldism. She was the first Persian woman to unveil herself in public. This happened in 1848 and as a result of this crime and her Baha'i faith, the Shah of Iran sentenced her to death in 1853.

I would explain all my grief,
Dot by dot, Pain by pain,
Word by word, point by point....
If heart to heart we talk
And face to face we meet.
To catch a glimpse of thee,
I am wandering like a breeze,
From house to house, door to door,
Place to place, street to street.
In separation from thee,
The blood of my heart gushes out of my eyes,
In torrent after torrent, river after river,
Wave after wave, stream after stream.
This afflicted heart of mine,
Has woven your love to the stuff of life,
Strand by strand, thread to thread.
I - Táhirih - searched my heart,
I looked line by line, leaf by leaf,
What did I find?
You and you, you and you.

Poet: Táhirih Qurratu l-`Ayn (1817 –1852) Translated by kamya64
