Whether he sings poems of Shamlou, Rumi, Hafez,shirazi and Naderpour, or lyrics of Iraj Jannati Attaie, Shahyar Ghanbari, Mina Assadi and Ardalan Sarfaraz, the one theme that runs through all his music is that of love, peace, freedom and justice.

Furthermore, his performances in the Iranian Cinema, more specifically in two films: "Yaran" and "Faryad zir-e- ab" have earned great reviews[citation needed]. Recently, his incredible amount of sheer hard work in bringing awareness and support to the world of addiction has insured his place among the mere handful of humanitarian Iranian artists who have made an impact in the lives of people with compassion and passion. Through the establishment of the Iran Recovery Center, and Ayeneh Foundation, by creating such websites as [Behboudi.com], the first Persian website addressing substance abuse, [Ayeneh.org], the first and only website addressing all social maladies widespread among our countrymen all around the world, and his own weblog, [dariusheghbali.com]; through educational seminars and conferences around the world, and as a member of Amnesty International[citation needed], Dariush has raised his voice to make a difference.

نه طاقت خاموشی نه میل سخن داریم.
آوار پریشانی است رو سوی چه بگریزیم.
هنگامه حیرانی است خود را به که بسپاریم.
تشویش هزار آیا وسواس هزار اما.
یک عمر نمی‌دیدم در خویش چه‌ها داریم.
دردا که هدر دادیم آن ذات گرامی را.
تیغیم و نمی‌بریم ابریــم و نمی‌باریم.
نه طاقت خاموشی نه میل سخن داریم.
ما خویش ندانستیم بیداریمان از خواب.
گفتند که بیدارید گفتیم که بیداریم.
دوران شکوه باغ از خاطرمان رفته‌است.
امروز که صف در صف خشکیده و بی‌باریم.
از زمزمه دلتنگیم از همهمه بیزاریم.
نه طاقت خاموشی نه میل سخن داریم.
تشویش هزار آیا وسواس هزار اما.
یک عمر نمی‌دیدم در خویش چه‌ها داریم.
دردا که هدر دادیم آن ذات گرامی را.
تیغیم و نمی‌بریم ابریــم و نمی‌باریم.
ما خویش ندانستیم بیداریمان از خواب.
گفتند که بیدارید گفتیم که بیداریم.
من راه تو را بسته تو راه مرا بسته.
امید رهایی نیست وقتی همه دیواریم.
از زمزمه دلتنگیم از همهمه بیزاریم.
نه طاقت خاموشی نه میل سخن داریم.
آوار پریشانی است رو سوی چه بگریزیم.

The lyrics to Dariush's song Divar speak of a deep inner turmoil and restlessness within oneself. The singer feels a sense of confusion and struggles to understand their own thoughts and emotions. They feel lost and directionless, not knowing which way to turn or whom to trust. The song touches on themes of pain, regret, and the loss of something once held dear.
The repeated verses emphasize the singer's exhaustion from their own inner conflict. They don't have the stamina to remain quiet, but they also don't know what to say. The pain they have caused themselves has left them feeling betrayed by their own nature. The final verses express a desire for release from this turmoil, but the singer cannot see a way forward. They feel as though their path has been blocked and they are trapped within themselves.
The poignant lyrics of Divar are made all the more powerful by Dariush's unique vocal style and melody. The song continues to resonate with listeners today, more than four decades after its original release.
