آن روز که مرکب فلک زین کردند

آرایش مشتری و پروین کردند

این بود نصیب ما زدیوان قضا

ما را چه گنه قسمت ما این کردند

 I tell You this -- When, starting from the Goal,
        Over the shoulders of the flaming Foal
        Of Heav'n Parwin and Mushtari they flung,
        In my predestin'd Plot of Dust and Soul.


قسمت = fate

Haiku

Le jour de l'an
“Bonne année ! Bonne santé !”
Depuis l'aube, on entend que cela dans la forêt des Merveilles. Tous les animaux se souhaitent le meilleur pour l'année nouvelle. Ils échangent aussi des poignées de pâtes, des gros bisous et des petits cadeaux.
“Ah ! pensent-ils, si tous les hommes agissaient comme nous au lieu de se faire la guerre, la Terre serait un véritable paradis.”
