“Soureh Tamasha” is the name of a poem by Sohrab Sepehri, projecting a simple as well as beautiful image of his ideology. The poet gets inspiration from a number of the Quranic chapters as to trigger his poem with such oaths as “I swear to sightseeing”, “I swear to speech ability” and “I swear to the bird of thought flottering in mind”. The universe is full of tokens of God, and those tokens are illustrated in the poem "Soureh Tamasha". Here is an example:
Resting in the shadow of a willow,
I picked leaves off the branch I was below.
Hey, I said, open your eyes and behold,
T's best God's token to put in my ode.
Those who kept dreaming of traditions with their eyes and ears closed at the divine message of prophets jumped off their dreams as the bell of torture tolled. This being the gist of “Soureh Tamasha”, the article briefly analyzes the poem and compares and contrasts Sepehri's ideology with those of such great poets as Hafiz and Mowlavi.
