روضهٔ پنجم / The Fifth Garden of Baharestan (On Love)

The Fifth Garden (Rowze 5) is the division of Jami's Baharestan devoted to love and the conduct of lovers. It collects a series of short prose anecdotes, each capped by illustrative verse, that treat earthly love as a discipline of the soul: the lover tormented by the beloved's beauty and by fear of rivals, and the recurring motif of the beautiful beardless youth whose charm fades once facial hair (rish) appears. Its individual pieces — including Section 10, Section 11, and Section 12 — belong to this garden rather than sitting directly under the whole collection, and share its focus on the psychology and ethics of love as a mirror of higher longing.
