The earth completed its annual journey and the Northern spring solstice, the vernal equinox is upon us. Since time immemorial before recorded history began, People of Greater Iran, beyond the Iranian plateau, that stretches from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan to the river Sind including modern Afghanistan and most of Pakistan, the Persian Gulf, to the banks of Euphrates and as North as Armenia and Georgia have celebrated the revival of # 60000+ unarmed demonstrators and forced a war on Iranians. I wish you all a wonderful new year ahead. Here are a few lines of poetry about nowruz written by the great Ferdowsi over 1000 years ago. The haft (7) sin (s) is a traditional spread that symbolises this rebirth. With each item depicting a symbol, health, prosperity, God, happiness and so forth so happy new year. The below poem is from Ferdowsi Iranian poet over a 1000 years ago speaking of this ancient tradition as ancient even then.
چو خورشيد تابان ميان هوا
نشسته بر او شاه فرمانروا
The sun shined brightly. The King upon his throne
جهان انجمن شد بر ان تخت او
شگفتى فرو ماند از بخت او Order came to the World at his command. The wonder of his fortunes & might
به جمشيد بر گوهر افشاندند
من ان روز را روز نو خواندند
To Jamshid the King, jewels were bestowed This day was called the New day
سر سال نو هرمز فرودين
بر اسوده از رنج روى زمين
At the start of the blessed new year Suffering was vanquished from the good earth
بزرگان به شاهى بياراستند
مى و ورد و رامشگران خواستند
The great and the good visited the King Wine, music and songs were played
چنين جشن فرخ از ان روزگار
به ما ماند از ان خسروان يادگار Such a celebration remains from those days. From our days of our Kings bestowed to us #نوروز peace persiannewyeariranshahr ۲۵۸۵ شاهنشاهی
