New Rubaei Posted: Quatrain 126 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"I cannot describe you with a cypress, sun, or moon.
Alas for you, that you cannot be described with a sigh.

Everyone goes on a journey in search of you,
if the path to you were known, there would not be so many paths."

Poetic:

"No cypress, sun, or moon can paint your grace,
A sigh, alas, cannot your beauty trace.

All seek your path, a quest that's endless, deep,
If found, this journey, they would cease to keep."
