下面是他的最被喜爱的爱情诗英译：
"The links of the beloved's hair form a chain of suffering
The man not thus bound remains unaware of this tale
As for myself, strike me by the sword in her full view
a sidelong glance from those eyes will full ransom make
And should I give up life in pursuit of her favor
no pity at all; I love the beloved more than my life..."
答案肯定会令你震惊：十三世纪伊朗诗人萨迪 （Saadi）。有两部著名的作品 Bustan (The Orchard, 1257) and Gulistan (The Rose Garden, 1258.)
是的：这浪曼到天花版的文字出自十三世纪伊朗穆斯林诗人。而且Saadi 当今仍是他们喜爱的桂冠诗人
几百年前的浪曼和今天的现实落差真是超越想象。
