# سندبادنامه 250.1

English (machine translation) 250.1

- **Language:** English

### [250.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.fa.qissa.sindbadnama~en-mt.250.1)

Do you not see the breaths of the breeze weak and ailing, / and the eyelids of the clouds weeping,  
Clothing the sides and folds of the hills / in delightful embroidered gowns and striped mantles?  
You would think their rivulets were ingots of molten silver / and sharpened swords drawn bare,  
And you would take the song of the nightingale for lutes / resounding, and the warble of the songbird for instruments,  
And when the gazelles graze upon anemones, you would deem them / pitchers pouring out all-encompassing wine.
