Welcome to NawBahar — a channel dedicated to Persian, Afghan, and Indian ghazal traditions, Sufi poetry, and classical verse. Here we create modern musical interpretations of timeless poetry from Hafez, Rumi, Saadi, Khayyam, and many contemporary voices.

The name NawBahar (also known historically as Nava Vihara) refers to an ancient Buddhist stupa and monastery near the city of Balkh. The iconic Arch of Nawbahar still stands today, echoing centuries of spiritual and artistic heritage. In Persian literature, poets often used Nawbahar as a metaphor for immense beauty, likening magnificent palaces to its splendor.

Join us as we explore this rich poetic and musical legacy — where ancient verses meet modern sound, and every composition becomes a new spring.
