Quatrain 134 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"I wish people had seen that idol,
or heard the words of their lover.
So that they, too, would become restless and heartbroken,
and would not laugh at the lovers' tears."

Poetic:

"Oh, if they'd but seen the one I adore,
Or heard the words my heart does implore,

They'd feel the ache, the longing so deep,
And cease to mock at lovers who weep."
