Hello everyone,

I am working on a project for school and need to translate a passage from Leyla and Majnun into Arabic. I have the English copy of the story and it goes like this:

Each grain of sand takes its own length and breadth as the measure of the world; yet, beside a mountain range it is as nothing. You yourself are the grain of sand; you are your own prisoner. Break your cage, break free from yourself, free from humanity; learn that what you thought was real is not so in reality. Follow Nizami: burn but your own treasure, like a candle -- then the world, your sovereign, will become your slave. (page 148)

I was wondering if anyone has the Arabic version quoted directly from Nizami...any help would be greatly appreciated!
