Saadi Poem

As long as the thought of your stature and grace fills my mind, Even if all people become tall and beautiful like cypresses, I remain free like a cypress.

⋱

Blessed is the day my soul departs in pursuit of you, So dear ones may come to congratulate me.

⋱

All the sorrows of the world have no effect on me, So joyous am I at the sight of your beloved face.
