Rubaei 41 By Hafez Shirazi

Description: Literal Translation:

Oh, if only fate had been harmonious,
And with the cruelty of time, been a companion.
When youth snatched the reins from my hand,
Old age, like a stirrup, had remained steady.

Poetic and Interpretive Translation:

I wish that fate had been kind to me,
A steadfast friend in time's cruelty.
When youth slipped through my grasp so fast,
Old age would've been a steady mast.
