“بدین چوب شد روزگارم به سر
ز سیمرغ وز رستم چارهگر
فسونها و نیرنگها زال ساخت
که اروند و بند جهان او شناخت” — My days were cut short by this piece of wood,
From the Simorgh and the wily Rustam.
It was Zāl who had woven spells and charms,
For he knew the grandeurs and the snares of the world.
- abbreviation, alt-ofshort for اروندرود (arvandrud, “the Shatt al-Arab River”)
- obsoleteName of a river in Mesopotamia, traditionally but probably inaccurately identified with the Tigris.
