“Gul “ is an important symbol in literature and music. From ancient times to the present day, “Gul” is not only a type of flower(rose), but also a symbol of love. Many poets used the “Gul” as a symbol of a lover.
In ancient Egypt, the “Gul” was considered a sacred flower. In Greek mythology, the “Gul” is the flower of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love. In the middle age, in Europe the “Gul” was the symbol of nobility and wealth. In the age of the Roman empire, poets praised the “Gul”.
Many classical and modern Kurdish poets express their love with the word “Gul”. This also has an impact on Kurdish music. There are many songs that use “Gul” as a symbol of love.
But there is a difference in Kurdish poetry and music about the meaning of the “Gul”. The word “Gul” is used for Kurdistan instead of the country. Like in the song “Ay lê Gulê”. In this song, the lyrics of which were written by Rencber and the music composed by Mihemed Şêxo, the word “Gul” is used as a symbol for Kurdistan.
Because of the ban on the word Kurdistan, there are other songs that use “Gul”.
Sometimes the word of Kurdistan turns to Gulistan. .
These are songs that use the word “Gul” as a symbol of love and Kurdistan and in some of them “Gul” is used instead of Kurdistan.
