PARVIN E'TESAMI
با قضا، چیره زبان نتوان بود، که بدوزند، گرت صد دهن است
Bâ qazâ, chire-zabân natavân bud, ke beduzand, garat sad dahan ast
One cannot out-argue fate — they will sew shut your mouths, even if you have a hundred of them.

طائری کز آشیان، پرواز بهر آز کرد، کیفرش، فرجام بال و پر به خون آلودن است
