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.

Gheysar
dariush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
می شکنن شاخشو میفرستن تو باغ
این روزا طاقو نمیریزن سرش
سر گلشونو می کوبن به طاق
آخر نمایشا عوض شده
همه نقش همو بازی می کنن
اونایی که چشمشون به قدرته،
هم پیاله هاشو راضی می کنن
دل طوقی واسه کی پر می زنه؟
اگه فرمونو یه شب دوره کنن
چندتا چاقو پشت قیصر میزنه؟
نمی دونم اگه برگردیم عقب
داش آکل به عشق کی سر می کنه؟
اگه رستمو ببینه روی خاک
پشتشو بازم به خنجر میکنه؟
پای روضه ی خودت گریه نکن
وقتی گریه ننگ مردونگیه
دوره ای که عاقلاش زنجیرین
سوته دل شدن یه دیوونگیه
این روزا دوره ی غیرت کشیه
کی میدونه قیصر این روزا کجاست؟
بُکشی و نکشی، می کُشنت
اینجا بازارچه ی آب منگولیهاست
The lyrics to Dariush's song Gheysar are quite abstract and open to interpretation, but they seem to center around the theme of power and dominance. The first verse describes how the antlers of a deer are being broken and its head forced down, while flowers are being forcefully crushed. This seems to represent the idea of the powerful exerting their control over the weak and helpless. The second verse speaks directly to the character of Gheysar, who is alluded to as being a powerful figure that others must appease. The lyrics pose the question of whether or not, if they were to turn back time, anyone would dare to challenge him or try to overthrow him. The final verse seems to suggest that the only way to survive in a world of power and dominance is to play the game, or risk becoming a victim of those who hold power.

این روزا گوزن و سر نمی برن،
These days the deer won't raise their heads,
می شکنن شاخشو میفرستن تو باغ
they break the tree branches and send them to the garden
این روزا طاقو نمیریزن سرش
These days they don't pour water on the roots
سر گلشونو می کوبن به طاق
they hit the flowers on their heads with the water jug
آخر نمایشا عوض شده
finally the show has changed
همه نقش همو بازی می کنن
everyone is playing the same role
اونایی که چشمشون به قدرته،
those whose eyes are on power
هم پیاله هاشو راضی می کنن
are satisfied with their wine glass
نمی دونم اگه برگردیم عقب
I don't know if we go back in time
دل طوقی واسه کی پر می زنه؟
whose heart will be trembling with joy
اگه فرمونو یه شب دوره کنن
if they overthrow the government one night
چندتا چاقو پشت قیصر میزنه؟
how many knives will be plunged into Caesar's back?
داش آکل به عشق کی سر می کنه؟
whose head will the shepherd dog bite for love?
اگه رستمو ببینه روی خاک
if he sees my body on the ground
پشتشو بازم به خنجر میکنه؟
will he strike again with his dagger?
پای روضه ی خودت گریه نکن
don't cry at your own grave
وقتی گریه ننگ مردونگیه
when crying is a sign of weakness
دوره ای که عاقلاش زنجیرین
the time when the wise are in chains
سوته دل شدن یه دیوونگیه
being heartbroken is madness
این روزا دوره ی غیرت کشیه
These days is the era of envy
کی میدونه قیصر این روزا کجاست؟
who knows where Caesar is these days?
بُکشی و نکشی، می کُشنت
whether you kill or not, they will kill you
اینجا بازارچه ی آب منگولیهاست
This is the water market of the Mongols

داریوش
اسطوره ای بی تکرار
همیشه دیر بر ساحل خیالم می نشینی
استاد
امیدم این که در دنیای قشنگت
جایی اندک برای شاعر باشد.
صبحهای نقره ایت صدایت می زند
هنوز پیر خراباتی
با جامی پر از باده
استاد داریوش ...خزان شاعر.

وای بهروز وثوقی 😔 کاش میذاشتن بیشتر کار میداد. کاش دوران شاه در ایران و دوران دکتر نجیب الله در افغانستان از هم نمیپاشید. به نام اسلام هر دو کشور ویران شد.
