اين بنايي ست كه سي قرن بپاست
سند قدمت و مليّت ما ست
فلكش دست ب تركيب نا برد
آسانش نتوانست سژد
Translation doesn't seem correct. Something like: This building that is thirty centuries old / document our history and is our nationality / the universe ... failed to ...
You can't get the best of Shelley and Keats from a translated work,same goes for poetry in Persian or Arabic.Translated work is kind of injustice to a poet in my opinion.Here is a rough translation:
This structure has been standing for 3000 years
It shows our antiquity and nationality
The sphere did not change it
nor can it do to it's sky
Taken from تخت جمشید
By Shams-i-Tabrīzī.In English the place in image(for which the poetry is all about) is known as Persepolis or The Throne of Jamshid
actually, further shows how in spite of the fact that the Noble Quran is translated into many languages it still continues to captivate people over the entire globe for its relevance and transcendence.
As for why I want the translation. I was browsing poetry by Persian writers and came upon the image and it captivated me. It looked like the death towers and I wanted to know if it had anything to do with it.
