Harfa (Words):
Where did all the words go to?
The ones that we once used to speak with.
Will they or will they not come back?
I do not know the answer to that question.
.They seem to have wandered off aimlessly from one place to another,
flying about like moths & butterflies.
With just one glance, as quick as the burn of a flame; all the words have disappeared.
There is nothing more to say.
"Ho! o Saki, pass around and offer the bowl:
For love at first appeared easy, but difficulties have occurred" -Hafez

Peiman Zekavat captures Tehran as the kid growing up next door. Unrevealed and unknown to many, the city walks and talks in this video with familiar human contradictions: gruff and earnest, thoughtful and aimless.
Watching the troubadour wander about, one cannot help but notice the mountains of Shemroon looming still and majestically over the hectic streets. Amidst the chaos of honking cars and racing motorcyclists , the soft melody from a setar sets the mood for a calm sunny afternoon in Tehran's otherwise dense urban landscape.
