a moral from Shahname, written by the famous Persian poet and philosopher Ferdowsi. سپهری بر این‌سان که بینی روان the flowing universe you see توانا و دانا جز او را مخوان call only that almighty and all wise تو رازِ جَهان تا توانی مجوی don't search for the secret of the world که او زود پیچد ز جوینده روی that it will quickly turn its back to the seeker به داد و دِهِش دلْ توان‌گر کنید empower yourselves with justice and generosity بر آزادگی بر سرْ افسر کنید and make it your crown as a liberal که فرجام هم روزمان بگذرد that eventually our days will be over زمانه پی ما همی‌بشمرد the universe is counting (the days) for us
