How to Turn Your Lyrics into a Kurdish Song with AI (Dengbêj, Govend, Lorî) in 2026

A dengbêj could turn a story into a song on the spot. For everyone else, getting from a few lines of Kurdish poetry to something you can actually play — at a wedding, in a classroom, in a family group chat — has meant finding a singer, musicians and a studio. The AI music tools that changed this for English mostly do not know what a govend or a lorî is, and they stumble over Kurdish words.

This guide shows how to make a complete Kurdish song from your own lyrics with Stran, the song tool in mazdek AI — what you write, what you choose, and what you get back.

What you need

Step by step

1. Open Stran. On the web it is Songs in the menu; in the iOS and Android apps it has its own screen.
2. Write the lyrics. Mark the parts with [Verse] and [Chorus] so the song knows what repeats. Words in (parentheses) are sung as backing vocals. No lyrics yet? Type what the song is about — "missing my village in spring", "a letter to my mother" — and mazdek AI writes original lyrics in the language you chose, which you can then edit.
3. Pick a style. Each style card explains what it sounds like and what kind of lyrics suit it. Some traditional forms have no chorus at all — the app tells you and asks for stanzas instead.
4. Choose the mode. Standard is for trying ideas; Awaza Kurdî is the premium mode for the most authentic Kurdish sound.
5. Create. The song is usually ready in one to three minutes. You can leave the page; a notification arrives when it is done.
6. Listen, keep, share. Download the audio, export a lyric video, send a link or publish the song.

Styles rooted in Kurdish music

A generic "world music" preset does not make a Kurdish song. Each style in Stran was researched on its own — rhythm, instruments, how the voice moves, which dialect it is traditionally sung in:

There are more — halparke, hore, siyaçemane, narînk, payîzok, Kurdish maqam, koma rock — and general styles such as pop, rock, acoustic and hip-hop for lyrics in any language.

Standard and Awaza Kurdî

The two modes exist because they answer different needs.

Standard covers every style and comes with a generous monthly allowance, so you can try an idea five different ways without thinking about it.

Awaza Kurdî is the mode to use when the song has to sound Kurdish — the ornaments of a dengbêj voice, the drive of a govend. It can also take its mood from a photo you add. Free accounts get a couple of Awaza Kurdî songs to try; after that it is part of the paid plans or can be used with credit.

Writing lyrics that sing well

• Short lines. A line you can say in one breath is a line that can be sung.
• Let the chorus repeat. Write it once under [Chorus] and reuse the tag; the repetition is what people remember.
• Match the form. A dengbêj kilam is a story, not verse–chorus–verse. A lorî is slow and soft. The style card tells you which form to write.
• Length follows the lyrics. Two verses and a chorus make roughly two to three minutes.
• Use the letters. Write Kurmancî with its î, ê, û, ş and ç — the spell checker restores them in one tap if your keyboard does not have them.

Sharing your song

Every song starts private. From there you can send a link that anyone can open, publish the song to Discover where others can find and save it, or collect songs in playlists. For social media, export a vertical or square lyric video with the words flowing in time with the music.

Two rules keep this fair: every song is labelled as AI-generated, and Stran will not imitate a specific artist — describe the style instead of naming a singer.

Plans and what they include

Allowances may change — the pricing page and the Songs screen always show your current numbers. When a monthly Awaza Kurdî allowance is used up, you can continue with credit.

Try it

Open Songs, paste four lines you have written — or just a topic — pick Govend, and listen to your own words come back as music. The Kurdish song generator page has examples if you want to hear the styles first.
