Gorgeous architecture, and a wonder to note that Amir Khusro's shrine is there also. Perhaps part explanation of that sense of comfort and solace... Abr mi barad-o man shovm-e az yar-e judaa Choon kunam dil becheneen roz zedildar judaa. Abr baraan wa man-o yar satadah ba-widaa’ Man judaa girya kunaan, abr judaa, yaar judaa The cloud weeps, and I become separated from my friend - How can I separate my heart from my heart’s friend on such a day. The cloud weeping – and I and the friend standing, bidding farewell - I weeping separately, the clouds separately, the friend separately….. (trans. A. Schimmel) How lovely. Gorgeous architecture, and a wonder to note that Amir Khusro’s shrine is there also. Perhaps part explanation of that sense of comfort and solace…

Abr mi barad-o man shovm-e az yar-e judaa
Choon kunam dil becheneen roz zedildar judaa.
Abr baraan wa man-o yar satadah ba-widaa’
Man judaa girya kunaan, abr judaa, yaar judaa

The cloud weeps, and I become separated from my friend -
How can I separate my heart from my heart’s friend on such a day.
The cloud weeping – and I and the friend standing, bidding farewell -
I weeping separately, the clouds separately, the friend separately…..
