Forough Farrokhzad

Forough Farrokhzad wasn't a musician, but rather one of Iran's most celebrated female poets of the 20th century. Her work often explored themes of love, rebellion, and women's rights in a society that often sought to silence those voices. While she tragically died young in a car accident in 1967, her powerful and evocative poetry continues to resonate with readers and inspire new generations. Though you won't find her music on streaming services, her poems, including those listed like "Astaneh," "Nobody Cares for Flowers," and "Tanha Sedast Ke Mimanad," are widely available in translated collections and offer a glimpse into her profound artistic vision.
