How Bayan works
Every feature is built for one purpose: making classical Persian poetry accessible to anyone, anywhere, with no internet required.
Bilingual Display
Read every poem in its original Farsi alongside a faithful English translation, hemistich by hemistich. No flipping between tabs, no guessing. The beauty of the original and the clarity of English, side by side.
Tap-to-Define Dictionary
Tap any word and instantly see its meaning. Bayan's built-in dictionary includes 33,640 entries sourced from Steingass's Comprehensive Persian–English Dictionary and Dehkhoda's encyclopedic lexicon, the two most authoritative references for classical Persian.
AI Literary Analysis
On-device AI breaks down each poem's themes, symbolism, and historical context. Understand the Sufi metaphors in a Hafez ghazal or the epic imagery of Ferdowsi, without needing a PhD in Persian literature. Runs entirely on your iPhone, no server calls.
فال حافظ (Fal-e Hafez)
The beloved Persian tradition of divination by Hafez. Hold a question in your heart, open the Divan, and receive a poem as guidance. Bayan brings this centuries-old practice to your phone with full English interpretation.
100% Offline
No internet needed. No accounts. No data collection. Every poem, every dictionary entry, and every AI model lives on your device. Bayan works the same whether you're on a plane, in the mountains, or simply prefer your privacy.
