"agar firdaus bar rue zamin ast
hamih ast o hamin ast o hamin ast"

- A couplet inscribed above the platform which was the setting for the Peacock Throne in the Diwan-e-khas of the Red Fort in Delhi. The literal translation is: "If there is paradise on Earth, it is here, it is here, it is here."

I find this inscription very moving. I feel like I should post it over my door to remind me of the good life I have.

Nice blog.
