The Complete Works of Saadi / Ghazals / O Muslims, lament for that narcissus bewitched by sorcery

This is a short Persian poem or couplet by Saadi, written around 640 AH. The work addresses Muslims, warning them against the deceptive enchantment of the narcissus flower, which serves as a metaphor for worldly illusion and vanity. Saadi employs the narcissus, traditionally a symbol of self-absorption and false beauty in Persian literature, to caution believers against being seduced by material appearances and losing sight of spiritual truth.
