Quatrain 122 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"See that grace which is in his form,
and that smile like a pistachio in its shell.

No, you cannot reach his beautiful face.
Come into my eye and see the image of my friend."

Poetic:

"Behold the grace that graces all his frame,
That smile, like nut concealed, a hidden flame.

Your gaze cannot his beauty’s depths attain,
Come to my eye, and see my love’s sweet pain."
