Persian poet Saadi's "Orchard" Story 18 (translated by Yang Wanbao)

I heard that once in a place,

A skull confides in a believer.

I am bathed in holy grace, and I am the Lord of a nation,

The crown of kings is worn high on my head.

The heavens help me, and they also bear the help of fate,

The Iraqi region has also become my country.

I wanted to continue devouring Kerman,

Suddenly, my head became the meal of the earth worms.

Please take off the cotton ball that clogs the ears of the heart,

Listen to the advice of the deceased to you.
