Akhbar-i Mahabbat 1.7

1.7

You will see, if you go to the bazár, all the excellent things of the world. All things which are produced in any part of the inhabited world Are found in its bazár without difficulty. If I attempt to write in praise of the marvels of the city, The pen will refuse its office. But it is well known to all of every degree That it combines the beauties of China and Farang. The ground is as level as the face of the sky, And the roads in it are as straight as the line of the equator. People go out to walk on them, And there they meet together like the planets. Such a city as this in the country of the Bengalis Nobody has seen or heard of in the world.
