In Persian poetry, the rose holds a special place and significance. In India, the rose is called ġhulab, and the nightingale is enchanted by it. When roses bloom in Iranian soil, the nightingale becomes much excited and intoxicated. Maulana Azad writes, Here the rose has blōmed, and there, the nightingale is engrossed in a thousand tales on its branches. The nightingale not only speaks on the bud of the flower but on every tree, it chirps and sings. When it sits on the rosebud, the world becomes aware that it speaks, speaks, and speaks. It becomes excessively ecstatic, places its beak on the flower, closes its eyes, and continues to murmur. Then it becomes evident what the poets have woven into it about love, spring, and the themes of the rose and tulip, whether they hold any truth or not.
In Persian, 'Bulbul shudan' is also an expression meaning to fall in love.
