LYRICS "Golzar"
Persian poetry by Rumi:
"Come, the meadows are in bloom
Come, the Beloved has arrived.
Lay the entire Heavens and the Earth.
Before the magnificent sun.
For the rays of exaltation
Have pervaded and illuminated all things.
Mock the cold heart that won't rejoice
Weep for him who has torn himself away.
Come, the meadows are in bloom.
Come, the Beloved has arrived."
About NIYAZ:
"Niyaz (pronounced NEE-ahz) is an acoustic electronic project brings together members of VAS and AXIOM OF CHOICE to form an exciting new fusion of Persian and Indian influenced music with modern electronics.

"Azam Ali was born in Iran to Sufi parents. She emmigrated to India at the age of four. There she attended an international co-educational boarding school for eleven years."

@God4Dunoon:
"While pursuing formal training in various vocal traditions, like Western classical, Indian, Persian and Eastern European, Azams true passion has been to explore the immense potentiality of the human voice, specifically its capability to transcend language, culture and spiritual barriers when expressing pure emotion."
