How long will you persist in blasphemy?
Escape your self-hood's tyranny --
Whoever can evade the Self transcends
This world and as a lover he ascends.
Set free your soul; impatient of delay,
Step out along our sovereign's royal Way:
We have a king; beyond Kaf' mountain peak
The Simorgh lives, the sovereign whom you seek,
And He is always near to us, though we
Live far from His transceneent majesty.
A hundred yhousand feils of dark and light
Withdraw His presence from our mortal sight,
And in both worlds no being shares the throne
That marks the Simorgh's power and His alone --
He reigns in undisturbed omnipotence,
Bathed in the light of his magnificence --
No mind, no intellect can penetrate
The mystery of His unending state:
How many countless hundred thousands pray
For patience and true knowledge of the Way
That leads to Him whom reason cannot claim,
Nor mortal purity describe or name;
There soul and mind bewildered miss the mark
And, faced by Him, like dazzled eyes, are dark --
Nor seen discern the beauty of His face.
His creatures strive to find a path to Him,
Deluded by each new, deceitful whim,
But fancy cannot work as she would wish;
You cannot weigh the moon like so much fish!
How many search for Him whoe heads are sent
Like polo-balls in some great tournament
From side to giddy side -- how many cries,
How many countless groans assail the skies!
Do not imagine the Way is short;
Vast seas and deserts lie before His court.
Consider carefully before you start;
The journey asks of you a lion's heart.
The road is long, the sea is deep -- one flies
First buffeted by joy and then by sighs;
If you desire this quest, give up your soul
And make our sovereign's court your only goal.
First wash your hands of life if you would say:
"I am a pilgrim of our sovereign's Way;"
Renounce your soul for love; He you pursue
Will sacrifice His inmost soul for you,

Borges' summary was better desu

Suddenly the drunken sweetheart appeared out of my door.
She drank a cup of ruby wine and sat by my side.
Seeing and holding the lockets of her hair
My face became all eyes, and my eyes all hands.

When will /lit/ talk about Persian poetry in any detail? Farsi speaker here. You guys are missing out on some great stuff.

It was in China, late one moonless night,
The Simorgh first appeared to mortal sight –
He let a feather float down through the air,
And rumours of its fame spread everywhere...

>The Conference of Birds, Farid ud-Din Attar

“I turn to right and left, in all the earth
I see no signs of justice, sense or worth:
A man does evil deeds, and all his days
Are filled with luck and universal praise;
Another's good in all he does - he dies
A wretched, broken man whom all despise.”

>Ferdowsi, Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings

“From moment then to moment their desire
Gained strength, and wisdom fled before love's fire;
Passion engulfed them, and these lovers lay
Entwined together till the break of day.”

>Ferdowsi, Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings

There's the occasional Farsiboo thread that gets some people, but other than a few enthusiasts and the occasional guy who read Omar's Rubberhat there just aren't enough people.
How do you say 'feels bad man' in Farsi?- bad has mikonad, mard ?
