Quatrain 102 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"The one who was the object of my heart's preoccupation has gone,
and I, slain by the sword of injustice.

They have returned, but without their former radiance,
having brought upon themselves the inscription, 'I am deposed'."

Poetic:

"My heart once yearned for one, now lost to sight,
Slain by their cruelty, in endless night.

They've returned, yet their glow is dimmed and gone,
A self-inflicted wound, their reign is overthrown."
