To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
XXXIII.
No man hath ever passed Into the Country of Eternal Rest With every longing stilled. Who hath not lingering cast Long looks behind, and in his eager breast Held many a secret yearning unfulfilled ?
Ah, Mushafi, to thee Silence and thought in solitude are best, For thou hast known That laurel crowns are idle vanity ; There is no worldly rank thou covetest, And what to thee is Suleiman's high throne?
MUSHAFI.
XXXIV.
Where has my childhood gone, where are its placid years ? For cruel youth... hath brought passion and bitter tears.
To the Creator now I from the dust complain Beauty, the thing he made, brings with it only pain.
Long I desired and dreamed, waiting with eager breath, But ere she came to me, Fate sent the sleep of Death.
To God as servitor I my devotion gave, Now Ix>ve hath taken me, bound me to be his slave.
I, Muztar, die with grief, yearning unsatisfied, Still hangs the purdah's fold I cannot draw aside, Nor lift the needless veil woven of shame and pride.
MUZTAR.
40 XXXV.
