For a while the old sage of wisdom gave me this advice:
Beware, never bind yourself to love.
My wretched fate ignored wisdom's counsel,
and separation crashed down on my head like Mount Alvand.
Explanation: Mount Alvand is a peak near Hamadan, used here to convey the crushing, immovable weight of separation.
