Sonnet 29<\/strong><\/p>\n

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes
\nI all alone beweep my outcast state,
\nAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
\nAnd look upon myself, and curse my fate,
\nWishing me like to one more rich in hope,
\nFeatured like him, like him with friends possessed,
\nDesiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
\nWith what I most enjoy contented least;
\nYet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
\nHaply I think on thee, and then my state,
\nLike to the lark at break of day arising
\nFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
\nFor thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
\nThat then I scorn to change my state with kings.<\/p>\n

-William Shakespeare<\/p>\n

Translation:<\/p>\n

O you present in my heart<\/h6>\n
Thinking of you, I am glad<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

If she doesn’t visit my eye<\/h6>\n
then my heart replaces it<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have not vanished, but my body<\/h6>\n
is wasting away from weakness<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

The blamer did not find me<\/h6>\n
and no watchman sees me<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

If fate had known me<\/h6>\n
the people would have come to me<\/h6>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nothing remains except love<\/h6>\n
ask it, and it will answer for me<\/h6>\n

-Abu’l Hasan Shushtari<\/p>\n
