Rubaei 12 By Hafez Shirazi

Description: Literal Translation:

The wealth of the world is not worth oppression,
Nor is the pleasure of intoxication worth its pain.
Not seven thousand years of joy in the world
Are worth this seven-day tribulation of sorrow.

Poetic and Interpretive Translation:

The world's riches, gained through cruelty,
Are not worth the pain of such a victory.
Seven thousand years of joy, the world may give,
Yet cannot match the pain in which I live.
