To Cheraghe Khod Barafruz (“Light Your Own Lamp”) is inspired by Rumi’s message of peace and unity. Scored for vocal solo, string quartet, and piano, the work reflects the idea that every individual light contributes to a collective sea of compassion and love. Through lyrical melody and expressive harmonies, it encourages hope, kindness, and human connection—reminding us that even one voice, joined with others, can illuminate a world beyond anger toward harmony and understanding.
