Ali, o U2 estava apoiando o Artists 4 Freedom, usando o poema de Rumi que fornece as letras de Dj Spooky e faixa de Sussan Deyhim, "Azadi (The New Complexity)", uma canção clássica baseada no poema Beshno Az Ney, de Rumi (poeta, jurista e teólogo sufi persa do século XIII).
O poema em inglês:
SHOW ME YOUR FACE
i crave
flowers and gardens
open your lips
i crave
the taste of honey
come out from
behind the clouds
i desire a sunny face
your voice echoed
saying “leave me alone”
i wish to hear your voice
again saying “leave me alone”
i swear this city without you
is a prison
i am dying to get out
to roam in deserts and mountains
i am tired of
flimsy friends and
submissive companions
i am blue hearing
nagging voices and meek cries
i desire loud music
drunken parties and
wild dances
one hand holding
a cup of wine
one hand caressing your hair
then dancing in orbital circle
that is what i yearn for
i can sing better than any nightingale
but because of
this city’s freaks
i seal my lips
while my heart weeps
yesterday the wisest man
holding a lit lantern
in daylight
was searching around town saying
i am tired of
all these beast and brutes
i seek
a true human
we have all looked
for one but
no one could be found
they said
yes he replied
but my search is
for the one
who cannot be found
Os telões multimídia do U2 juntaram as letras de Azadi, juntamente com fotos dos manifestantes no Irã e obras de arte da artista visual Shirin Neshat.
