New Rubaei Posted: Quatrain 97 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"The long nights keep me awake more.
Near dawn, I turn towards my pillow.

I imagine that my eyes, without seeing my beloved,
can sleep; I imagine it's a dream."

Poetic:

"Through endless nights, my vigil I keep,
As dawn approaches, I seek slumber deep.

I dream my eyes, deprived of your sweet sight,
Can find repose, but 'tis not truly night."
