Asadi Tusi
Abu Mansur Ali ibn Ahmad Asadi Tusi (Persian: ابومنصور علی بن احمد اسدی طوسی) was a Persian poet, linguist and author. He was born at the beginning of the 11th century in Tus, Iran, in the province of Khorasan, and died in the late 1080s in Tabriz. Asadi Tusi is considered an important Persian poet of the Iranian national epics. His best-known work is Garshaspnameh, written in the style of the Shahnameh.
Life
Little is known about Asadi's life. Most of the Khorasan province was under violent attack by Turkish groups; many intellectuals fled, and those who remained generally lived in seclusion. Asadi spent his first twenty years in Ṭūs. From about 1018 to 1038 AD, he was a poet at the court of the Daylamite Abū Naṣr Jastān. Here, in 1055–56, Asadi copied Abū Manṣūr Mowaffaq Heravī's Ketāb al-abnīa al-adwīa. He later went to Nakhjavan and completed his seminal work, the Garshāsp-nama (dedicated to Abu Dolaf, ruler of Nakhjavan), in 1065–1066. Asadi then served at the court of the Shaddadid king Manuchehr, who ruled Ani. The poet's tomb is in the city of Tabriz.

You keep wearing that smile 'cuz you're so cool
You're just pretending life is so good
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
You broke the fantasy world
But since you're well
The future knocks on your door
Every night we're there
The kingdom is changing
But the king will survive
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
And he reminds me of someone I once used to be
You were broken inside
But you're no fool
And you remind me
You were broken inside
But you're no fool
And you remind me of someone I once
But you're no fool
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
