Khwajeh Nizam al-Din Ubayd Allah al-Zakani, better known as Ubayd Zakani was a Persian poet of the Mongol era, regarded as one of the best satirists in Persian literature. His most famous work is Mush-o Gorbeh ("Mouse and Cat"), a political satire, which attacks religious hypocrisy. Although a highly popular figure, Ubayd's work has received little attention until recently, due to provocative and bawdy texts in the majority of his works.
My heart still hankers after her,
My past life haunts me still, as strong as ever;
We said, “Together we’ll grow old”
And I’ve grown old, and she’s still young as ever.
