📍 Location:
Shiraz, Hafez Mausoleum
In Persian tradition, the nightingale (Bulbul) is a symbol of a voice that cannot be tamed. Freedom of speech here appears not just as a political right, but as a natural necessity of the soul to speak the truth. Like the nightingale's song that flies freely over garden walls, Persian poetic word has always found its way to the listener despite any prohibitions. This is an ethical choice of culture: to be the nightingale whose song is a manifesto of inner freedom and the indestructibility of truth.
🐦🌹 Nightingale — Freedom of Speech
A voice that cannot be silenced.
In Persian tradition, the nightingale is more than a bird. It is the voice of truth resonating through gardens and palaces alike. In poetry, it speaks to the rose, turning song into a metaphor for freedom of speech. This image became the embodiment of a nation for which the word is not decoration, but the very mode of cultural existence.
In Shiraz, at the Mausoleum of Hafez, the poetic voice has echoed for centuries, regardless of power or prohibition. Freedom of speech in the Persian context is an ethical choice to speak the truth — even when it must be hidden in the imagery of wine and roses. The nightingale sings even in a cage, and that song shapes the unity and dignity of the people.
