Tugtar i leith a bhfuil fágtha den fhíon!
Nuair a bheimid ar shlí na fírinne
agus ar fán i bParthas
ní thiocfaimid go deo ar áit níos áille
ná an sruthán seo ar a dtugtar Ruknabad
cois ghairdíní na rós
i mbaile Shiraz.
Hafiz (1315 -1390)
Ruknabad
Bring what remains of the wine!
When we are among the departed,
swanning around in Paradise,
no sight more lovely will greet us
than this stream called Ruknabad
where rose gardens are in bloom
in the town of Shiraz.
