Quatrain 132 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"Suppose that, according to the verdict of wisdom and reason,
I do not step outside the circle of reason.

But how can I resist a desire that my nature compels?
It is a fault that God has created in me."

Poetic:

"Though reason bids me stay within its sphere,
And wisdom's voice counsels me to hold back here,

Yet when my heart yearns and my soul takes flight,
Can I deny the nature of my light? A flaw, you say, that God has placed in me,
Yet it's the very thing that sets my spirit free."
