Persian
Rumi,
Hafiz and Sa'di are icons of the passion and love that the Persian culture and language present. The Persian
word for love is eshgh[citation needed],
derived from the Arabic ishq, however is considered by most to be too
stalwart a term for interpersonal love and is more commonly substituted for
'doost dashtan' ('liking')[citation needed].
In the Persian culture, everything is encompassed by love and all is for love,
starting from loving friends and family, husbands and wives, and eventually
reaching the divine love that is the ultimate goal in life[citation needed].
Over seven centuries ago, Sa'di wrote:
The children of Adam are limbs of one body
Having been created of one essence.
When the calamity of time afflicts one limb
The other limbs cannot remain at rest.
If you have no sympathy for the troubles of others
You are not worthy to be called by the name of
"man."
