Classic Poem

Black night has-ended, and day has dawned ! -
See light has kissed all mountain peaks,
And the tulip is all aglow.

Hawks can't escape from the garden's slingers !
O bulbul, shed fear and plume your wings.
From now on, your faith will rule.

Flower bushes bear autumn's havoc, knowing
That spring will surely come and probe !
He alone survives who faces ordeals.

The gardener always prunes those trees
Who start growing out of size.
Thus watch your thoughts at every step !

The tulips will blaze the torch of love,
Irradiating heaven with that light.
While yemberzal pours out the wine of dew.

The sunflower has arranged her plates
With gold coins from love's firmament.
The tulip with his incense wishes him joy.

Look for the naming in Mahjoor's symbols.
Explaining them will profane the truth !
The wise will listen, the fools evade.
