“What do you know who have no notion of my grief? Away with you, make room! Do not look at me; I am not where you believe me to be. I am lost, even to myself! One does not address people like me! You torture and oppress me. How much longer? Leave me alone in my unhappiness.”
― Nizami Ganjavi, Layla and Majnun
