What a Night that there is no hope of Day apparent!
The grief from the enemies blame is better than all griefs,
For whilst I am separated from the Friend I am not alone in the station of blame (malamat).
- Subh-i-Azal (d. 1912) (my translation)

A poem from the Divan of Subh-i-Azal
What a Night that there is no hope of Day apparent!
The grief from the enemies blame is better than all griefs,
For whilst I am separated from the Friend I am not alone in the station of blame (malamat).
