The bulbul sits on every spray,

And pours his soft melodious lay;

Each rural spot its sweets discloses,

Each streamlet is the dew of roses;

The damsels, idols of the heart,

Sustain a most bewitching part.

And mark me, that untravelled man

Who never saw Mazinderan,

And all the charms its bowers possess,

Has never tasted happiness!”
