Quatrain 49
Quatrain 49 from Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
In every field where tulips grew in grace
Was once a monarch's blood that stained that place
در هر دشتی که لالهزاری بودهست
از سرخی خون شهریاری بودهست
Each violet shoot that grows from earth's dark bed
Was once a mole upon a beauty's face
هر شاخ بنفشه کز زمین میروید
خالیست که بر رخ نگاری بودهست
