Quotes Poetry O happy, happy Wisa, who dost lieAt Rāmin's feet, and with bewitched eyeGazest on him, as partridge doomed to dieIts gaze upon the hawk doth concentrate!O happy, happy Wisa, who dost holdClasped in thy hand the jewelled cup of gold,Filled to the brim with nectar rare and old,Which like thy beauty doth intoxicate!O happy Wisa, whose red lips confessWith smiles their love, ere Rāmin's lips they press,Whom with desire's fulfilment Heaven doth bless,And Mubad's fruitless passion doth frustrate!
