- c. 1100, Omar Khayyam, “Poem 130”, in Rubāʿiyāt[1]:
- آباد خرابات ز می خوردن ماست
خون دوهزار توبه در گردن ماست
گر من نکنم گناه رحمت که کند
رحمت همه موقوف گنه کردن ماست- ābād-i xarābāt zi may-xwardan-i mā-st
xūn-i du-hazār tawba dar gardan-i mā-st
gar man nakunam gunāh, rahmat ki kunad
rahmat hama mawqūf-i gunah-kardan-i mā-st - Wine-houses flourish through this thirst of mine,
Loads of remorse weigh down this back of mine;
Yet, if I sinned not, what would mercy do?
Mercy depends upon these sins of mine.
- ābād-i xarābāt zi may-xwardan-i mā-st
- responsibility
