Quatrain 114
Quatrain 114 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
I saw a bird perched on Tus's wall high
Before it Kay Kavus's crown did lie
مرغی دیدم نشسته بر باره طوس
در پیش نهاده کله کیکاووس
To the crown it kept saying 'Alas, alas!
Where's the bell's ring, the drum's cry?'
با کله همیگفت که افسوس افسوس
کو بانگ جرسها و کجا ناله کوس؟
