Quatrain 98 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"Among the servants of my nature,
I am more servile; and from the sight of the Divine, I am more cast down.

Despite all this, the heart cannot help but love,
so much so that the more it kills me, the more alive I am."

Poetic:

"A slave to nature's whims, I'm bound and low,
From God's divine sight, further I do go.

Yet, love's strong grip upon my heart does hold,
And though it kills me, I feel more bold."
