Lyrics

The meeting of the king with the divine physician whose coming had been announced to him in a dream.
93- The king opened his hands and clasped him to his breast and received him, like love, into his heart and soul,
94- And began to kiss his hand and brow and inquire concerning his home and journey.
95- So with many questions he led him to the podium. “At last,” he said, “I have found a treasure by being patient.”
96- He said also, “O gift from God and defence against trouble, you are the meaning of ‘Patience is the key of joy’!
97- O your countenance is the answer to every question, by you hard knots are loosed without discussion.
98- You interpret all that is in our hearts, you give a helping hand to every one whose foot is in the mire.
99- Welcome, O chosen one! If you vanish, Destiny will come upon us and the wide room will be straitened.
100- You are the protector of the people. He that desires you not has gone to perdition.
101- When that meeting and bounteous spiritual repast was over, he took his hand and conducted him to the separate part of a house in which the women and wives lived and it was called harem.

As you know, as many years have gone by the time of writing these stories and all of them written based on the Muslim culture of Persian and Turkish, therefore; there might be some unknown cultural points in the stories for you. Wherever we thought it is necessary, we tried to untie some special points related to Muslims’ culture, but there might be some vague things that they have been concealed of our eyes. Since we want to make a great meaningful magic slice of common comprehension between us, between what we said and what you heard, we beg you to fill in this following table for us. Thank you very much.

We exist here to narrate lots of great stories for you. Here, our first short story is about the name of our site. It goes back to "Elymaid (Elamite)", one of the world's oldest civilizations that they governed in the mid-second century BC in the southwest of Iran. Iran is a country in Western Asia that a part of its civilization began with the formation of the Elymaid (Elamite) kingdoms in the fourth millennium BC which its background had formed in Paleolithic era. We chose a special Poetic story book (the Mathnawí) written by Mevlana Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī who comes from Iran.
