In the Capital of the World's Sorrow

Mohammad Jan Arya, addressing someone directly throughout: I have caused you a great deal of trouble, haven't I. Now you are obliged to sit by the window or at the water's edge and think about a good many things — your own virtues, my faults, and the fish that take the hook, like you, who took mine. Text in Dari/Persian.
