Rubatar

Discover the harmony of classical Persian poetry and traditional regional music. Listen, read, and reflect, a timeless space for calm and inspiration.

Rubatar is a simple space where traditional regional music and classical poetry meet. Listen, read, and reflect, all in harmony.

What is Rubatar? The name Rubatar blends Rubaii (رباعی), a classical four-line poetic form, and Tār (تار), a traditional Persian string instrument. Together, they symbolize the union of verse and sound, timeless expressions of art and emotion.

How it works • Connect your Apple Music account to listen to curated playlists of traditional and regional instrumental music. • Read selections of classical poems from across cultures while immersing yourself in these sounds. • Even without an active Apple Music subscription, you can still read and enjoy the daily poetry in Rubatar.

Coming soon We’re working on new features including: • Poem analysis and commentary • Bookmarking and sharing poems • Search and discovery tools for poetry and music

Join the community Rubatar grows with its listeners and readers. If you curate traditional or classical regional music, or play instruments such as the Tār, Se Tār, Santoor, Oud, or Tonbak, we’d love to feature your work. Independent poets are also welcome to reach out and share their art.
