Niyaz 'Parishaan' at Mix Box, Paris, France 2012

This is a song based on a traditional folk song from Iran with poetry by 11th century Persian poet Baba Taher. The chorus melody is traditional and the verse melodies and instrumental sections were composed by Azam Ali and Loga Ramin Torkian.

Poetry translation:

I came into this world with no possessions
Awarded only a yearning heart
All those who came before me have returned to the dust
And it is from this dust which I have been created
O beloved, when will you arrive
I cannot bear one moment of this separation
Lucky are those who are on your path
Lucky are those who place their head at your feet
I am even willing to surrender my heart
To those whose hearts hold your love
Even if you have a crown and sit at a throne
In the end you will have nothing
Even if you are destined for great riches
In the end you will return to the dust

-Baba Taher (11th century Persian poet)

Bittersweet feelings when I watch this, in my heart I see my son's hands playing those drums, but I feel joy also it's like seeing him again. He loved this music also. He was a poet, wrote songs. Azam Ali and Niyaz, I love this music!

I came into this world with no possessions
Awarded only a yearning heart
All those who came before me have returned to the dust
And it is from this dust which I have been created
O beloved, when will you arrive
I cannot bear one moment of this separation
Lucky are those who are on your path
Lucky are those who place their head at your feet
I am even willing to surrender my heart
To those whose hearts hold your love
Even if you have a crown and sit at a throne
In the end you will have nothing
Even if you are destined for great riches
In the end you will return to the dust

these 4 were wonderful. Azam Alì is the voice of God, Habib Meftah Bushehri is also one of the greatest percussionists of the world.. and oh my his voice... Carmen Rizzo is a great dj and keyboard player, a great loss for Niyaz his departure. Loga Amin Torkian is well... he is MUSIC with all capital letters... his strings are pure beauty

"Even if you have a crown & sit at a throne, in the end, you will have nothing, even if you are destined for great riches' in the end you will return to the think that line is for earthly leaders who think they can rule forever! But, forever ends eventually!
