But all this world is like a tale we hear -
Men's evil, and their glory, disappear.

From moment then to moment their desire
Gained strength, and wisdom fled before love's fire;
Passion engulfed them, and these lovers lay
Entwined together till the break of day.

Such is the passing that you must leave,
All men must die, and it is vain to grieve.

جهانا سراسر فسوسی و باد
بتو نیست مرد خردمند شاد

Go to quote


چو ايران نباشد تن من مباد
بدين بوم و بر زنده يک تن مباد
بيا تا همه تن به کشتن دهيم
مبادا که کشور به دشمن دهيم
دريغ است ايران که ويران شود
کنام پلنگان و شيران شود

Abolqasem Ferdowsi

سر تخت شاهان بپیچد سه کار
نخستین ز بیدادگر شهریار
دگر آنکه بی مایه را برکشد
ز مرد هنرمند برتر کشد
سه دیگر که با گنج خویشی کند
به دینار کوشد که بیشی کند

Listen: this story's one you ought to know,
You'll reap the consequence of what you sow.
This fleeting world is not the world where we
Are destined to abide eternally:
And for the sake of an unworthy throne
You let the devil claim you for his own.
I've few days left here, I've no heart for war,
I cannot strive and struggle any more,
But hear an old man's words: the heart that's freed
From gnawing passion and ambitious greed
Looks on kings' treasures and the dust as one;
The man who sells his brother, as you've done,
For this same worthless dust, will never be
Regarded as a child of purity.
The world has seen so many men like you,
And laid them low: there's nothing you can do
But turn to God; take thought then for the way
You travel, since it leads to Judgment Day

Abolqasem Ferdowsi


Go to quote


I turn to right and left, in all the earth
I see no signs of justice, sense or worth:
A man does evil deeds, and all his days
Are filled with luck and universal praise;
Another's good in all he does - he dies
A wretched, broken man whom all despise.

And while one is brought up with luxury and caresses, and is thrown bewildered and despairing into a dark pit, another is lifted from the pit and raised to a throne where a jeweled crown is placed on his head. The world has no shame in doing this; it is prompt to hand out both pleasure and pain and has no need of us an our doings.
