Passion makes the old medicine new:  
  Passion lops off the bough of weariness.  
  Passion is the elixir that renews:  
  how can there be weariness  
  when passion is present?  
  Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue:  
  seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
'Another city'. a selectionf of poems from the Persian (ed. 2014)
