Quatrain 116 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"Issue a decree, O king of the world's beauties,
that the cypress tree might play the lute before your stature.

How long shall I endure the tumult of your cruelty?
It is neither the law of Muhammad nor the edict of a khan."

Poetic:

"Command, O beauty's king, let cypress trees,
With soulful music, sway beneath your ease.

How long must I endure your cruel disdain?
No law of God or man can ease my pain."
