To draw a general image of Islamic and Eastern aesthetics, beside orientalist-affected points, there are always the concepts of "vision" and "beauty" of highest importance. These prolific concepts and phenomena have been raised and favored by Iranian poets in the medium of amorous lyrics. Obviously, the term "Amorous Lyrics" aims to be an equivalent to lyrical forms enriched by the themes of love and passion while the human form as the main vehicle of beauty was always the subject of discussions through centuries.

As some interpretations tend to fix their narration of human form being a mere metaphoric image to lead to much deeper celestial meaning, some try to extend the concept of these human beauty as profane one.

This piece will try to be a sonic translation of the latest interpretation of what we may call the Eastern aesthetics, in praise of beauty and human form. This piece will make use of Amorous Lyrics of the saint and mystic Nezami Ganjavi as the foundation of its structure and flow. "Shirin and Khosrow" of Nezami is a long poetry of a tragic romance story with a specific wise woman character. This masterpiece was written by Nezami eight centuries ago.
