Ghased (for Tenor and Piano)

Composer & Pianist: Soheil Shirangi • Lyrics: Hafez
Vocal: Rashid Vatandoost • Recorded at: Saba Studio

Ghased (meaning “The Messenger”) is a simple triple-meter piece based on a magnificent ghazal by Hafez. The piano creates a supportive, narrative space for the expressive tenor voice. The song begins with intensity, as if declaring its heartfelt message, then gradually unfolds into more lyrical reflection. Through a balance of poetic emotion and musical clarity, Ghased transforms Hafez’s timeless verse into a direct and intimate musical expression of longing and spiritual beauty.
