Sufi Persian Music on Guitar by Fernando Perez.

Here is another Persian Sufi song. A Tasnif known as Sarkhoshan performed in its instrumental version. The tittle would translate for something like Happy People or Happy Heads.
Imagine somebody sings out they are so happy they are drunk. Again drunkenness here refers to be intoxicated with Gods presence. Sufi artists many times talk about wine and being drunk, however now you have the true meaning of it. While reading or hearing Sufi poems and stories is very important to have the keys to understand what metaphors refer to. Like when you hear about a King, a poor man, a young lady, etc. All of them mean something different and once unlocked the seal of understanding we have access to the universal and profound Sufi wisdom.

Here are the original lyrics of this Tasnif:
ما سرخوشان مست دل از دست داده‌ایم
همراز عشق و همنفس جام باده‌ایم

بر ما بسی کمان ملامت کشیده‌اند
تا کار خود، ز ابروی جانان گشاده‌ایم

چون لاله، می مبین و قدح در میان کار
این داغ بین که بر دل خونین نهاده‌ایم

گفتی که حافظ، این همه رنگ و خیال چیست

Persian Music Guitar Technical Notes.
A Tasnif is the name given to a tune or song with lyrics.
This song is set to an Avaz called Bayat-e Isfahan. It is a very common one in Persian music. We use the beautiful sound of microtones on the sixth degree as well as a combination of a natural seventh and its counterpart the microtonal lowered seventh.
The composition finishes with a Daramad based on bayat-e Isfahan.
