Page "Rahi Mo'ayyeri" Paragraph 5

Rahi was a composer as well as a poet.

His poetry combines beautiful imagery, eloquence, and delicacy of expression.

These qualities and his deep understanding of Persian music made him the poet of choice for all the great composers of his time.

Rouhollah Khaleghi and Rahi met in 1941, and from this point on, Rahi wrote the lyrics for most of Khaleghi ’ s compositions as well as those of Morteza Mahjoubi, Ali Tajvidi, Hossein Yahaqqi, Moussa Maroufi, and Javad Maroufi.

Master R. Khaleghi said that he was especially impressed with Rahi ’ s ability to fit words to music.

Rahi ’ s poems have been published in Saye-ye Omr Sayeh Omr ( سايه عمر in Persian ) ( translated " The Shadow of Life ") ( 1964 ), Azadeh ( 1974 ), and Javdaneh Rahi ( 1984 ).

Rahi had a deep and great friendship with Mr. Davood Pirnia ( the starter of Golha Program ) and due to that friendship he did a lot of work with Morteza khan Mahjoubi in the golha programs.

Many believe that the late 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of Persian music after the resignation of Mr. Pirnia.

Rahi reluctantly accepted to run the golha program till his illness.

He was a very well dressed man with stunning green eyes.

He never married.

The former shah's mother and the late shah were big fans of Rahi Moayeri's work and because of that he was very influential in the Pahlavi regime but he never once abused his influence.

He was a very selfless man and did not even want to publish his book.

He always said that his poems will not compare to the old masters.

He also wrote many comic poems under many pen names.

One of his last works was Golhayeh Rangarang # 470 that was song By the Late Haydeh and music was by the late Master Tajvidi ( Many claim that this is the song that made Haydeh famous ).
