Ruba'i No. 30: I have wasted a lifetime in pursuit of desire.
رباعی شماره ۳۰: عمری ز پی مراد ضایع دارم
I have wasted a lifetime pursuing my desires,
And what benefit have I received from the turning of the heavens?
عمری ز پی مراد ضایع دارم
وز دور فلک چیست که نافع دارم
With whomever I said that I became your friend/lover,
They became my enemy; alas, what a fate I have!
با هر که بگفتم که تو را دوست شدم
شد دشمن من وه که چه طالع دارم
Ruba'i No. 30: I have wasted a lifetime in pursuit of desire.
