Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 

Chapter 4 Mr. Fitzgibbon's Plough

نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی

که بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی

من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش

که تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی

چنگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی

وعظت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی

در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر است

حیف باشد که ز کار همه غافل باشی

نقد عمرت ببرد غصه دنیا به گزاف

گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکل باشی

گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست

رفتن آسان بود ار واقف منزل باشی

حافظا گر مدد از بخت بلندت باشد

صید آن شاهد مطبوع شمایل باشی


'Tis the fresh spring . In this strive that joyous of heart thou mayst be
For , again , blossometh many a rose when in the clay of the grave thou shall be . *** Within the veil , thee , the harp keepeth giving counsel . But ,
Thee , counsel profiteth at that time when worthy thou mayst be . *** I say not now , with whom , sit what drink
For thou knowest , if wise and learned thou be . *** In the sward , every leaf is a book of a different state
Woe is it if , careless of the state of all , thou be . *** Though , from us to the Friend , is a Path the path of ma'rifat full of fear ,
Easy is the going , if acquainted with the stage the Shaikh thou be . *** In excess , the world's anguish taketh life's cash ,
If , night and day , in this difficult tale , of journeying to the Friend thou be . *** O Hafiz if , from lofty fortune , aid be thine ,
The prey of that true Beloved , impressed with excellences , thou shalt be

These various expressions for affirmation encompass a wide range of tones and levels of formality. In everyday conversation, a simple "yes" or "yeah" suffices, and a touch of informality may be added with "sure" or "absolutely." When assurance is absolute, phrases like "without a doubt, yes" and "most definitely" leave no room for ambiguity. In informal settings, a resounding agreement might be expressed with "you bet" or "hell yeah," and a casual "totally" or "yup" carries a similar sentiment. For matters necessitating decorum, a formal approach may entail phrases like "I wholeheartedly agree" or "indeed," while "I concur" and "affirmative" maintain a level of professionalism. Politeness sweetens the agreement in expressions such as "I'd be happy to" and "that sounds wonderful," demonstrating eagerness to comply. A touch of wit adds a layer of humor to the affirmation, as seen in expressions like "in a New York minute" or "is the Pope Catholic?" In more refined circles, the upper class might communicate their agreement with endearing phrases like "absolutely, my dear" or "most assuredly," maintaining a level of warmth. For royalty, an affirmation is conveyed with grace and respect, as in "by all means, Your Majesty" or "it would be my honor, Your Highness," underscoring the formal nature of the response. Ultimately, the choice of expression hinges on the context and the level of decorum required for the situation at hand.
