Quatrain 12
Quatrain 12 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
O wheel of heaven, ruin comes from your spite
Injustice has been your ancient way and rite
ای چرخ فلک خرابی از کینهٔ توست
بیدادگری شیوهٔ دیرینهٔ توست
O earth, if they were to open your breast wide
What precious gems in your heart would they find inside
ای خاک اگر سینهٔ تو بشکافند
بس گوهر قیمتی که در سینهٔ توست
