      رضا به داده بده، وز جبین گره بگشای
      که بر من و تو درِ اختیار نگشادست
      rizâ ba dâda bidah, w-az jabîn gira bigušây
      ki bar man u tô dar-i ixtiyâr na-gšâd ast
      Grant satisfaction to what you have been granted, and open the frown from your brows; for the door of choice is open to neither you nor me.
