New Rubaei Posted: Quatrain 136 from Rubaiyat of Saadi Shirazi

Description: English Translation:

Literal:

"O sweet-tongued nightingale, how sweet your voice is!
Intoxicated by desire and bound by passion.

I fear you will not reach your beloved friends,
trapped by your own hands and tongue."

Poetic:

"Oh, nightingale, your song is pure delight,
A captive of desire, so lost in sight.

I fear you'll never reach your cherished friends,
Ensnared by self, your tale forever ends."
