Mercury-Like, I Was Drunk on Books by Poet Rumi

Poet: Rūmī عطاردوار دفترباره بودم / Mercury-Like, I Was Drunk on Books عطاردوار دفترباره بودم زبردست ادیبان می‌نشستم چو دیدم لوح پیشانی ساقی شدم مست و قلم‌ها را شکستم I was Mercury — drunk on ink and learning, the highest seat among the scholars mine — until I saw the scripture of her forehead: I shattered every pen. I broke the shrine.
