    Saadi
    “تعذر صمت الواجدين فصاحوا
    ومن صاح وجدا ماعليه جناح
    أسروا حديث العشق ما أمكن التقى
    وإن غلب الشوق الشديد فباحوا
    سرى طيف من يجلو بطلعته الدجى
    وسائر ليل المقبلين صباح
    يطاف عليهم والخليون نوم
    ويسقون من كأس المدامع راح”

    Saadi
    “قالَ لــي المحبــوبُ لمّا زرتُهُ - مَنْ ببابي؟ قلـتُ: بالبابِ أنَـــا
    قال لــي: أخطأتَ تعريفَ الهوى - حينمــا فــرّقتَ فيــه بَيْنَنَا
    ومضـــى عــــامٌ فلمّا جئتُـــهُ - أطرُقُ البــابَ عليـــه مُوهِنَــا
    قال لي: مَنْ أنتَ؟ قلتُ: انْظُرْ فما - ثَـــمّ إلّا أنتَ بالبـابِ هُنَـا
    قال لي: أحسـنتَ تعريفَ الهوى - وَعَــرَفتَ الـحُــب فادخُل يا أنَا”
