Footnote 26:
_In the original text, these lines of a ghazal by Saib Tabrizi
(1592-1676) were included in Farsi with no attribution. In a book
intended for an English speaking audience that generally does not read
Farsi, it is better to include the translation. The original Farsi text
was lines one and three (two hemistiches per line) of his Ghazal 2135.
Due to line length considerations, I have split the hemistiches to
separate lines in the translation in the text, and also in the Farsi
and transliteration below._
_The translation was provided by Intercombase (www.intercombase.com)._
The original Farsi: (_Depending on your software, the words may appear
in inverse order._)
مأوای تو از کعبه و بتخانه کدام است؟
ای خانه برانداز، ترا خانه کدام است؟
از کثرت روزن نشود مهر مکرر
ای کج نظران کعبه و بتخانه کدام است؟
Transliteration:
