Anvari (Closing Verses) / Though I have shut the door on panegyric and ghazal altogether

This is a poem, specifically a qit'a (fragment or occasional verse), by the classical Persian poet Anvari. In it, the speaker addresses the tension between abandoning panegyric and lyric poetry on one hand and the persistent demands of patronage and circumstance on the other. The poem reflects on the poet's own creative and professional condition, weighing the impulse to close the door on praise poetry and the ghazal form against the realities that draw him back. It stands as an example of Anvari's self-reflective occasional verse within his broader collected works.
