Bustan (or Bostan Persian: بوستان, pronounced "Bustān" ) is a book of poetry by the Persian poet Saadi, completed in 1257 and dedicated to the Salghurid Atabeg Sa'd I or Sa'd II.
It was Saadi's first work, and its title means "the orchard". The book contains the fruits of Saadi's long experience and his judgements upon life, and is illustrated by a vast collection of anecdotes. It includes accounts of Saadi's travels and his analysis of human psychology. He often mentions his accounts with fervour and advice similar to Aesop's fables.
It is composed in mathnawī style (rhyming couplets), and has been translated into English.
The Bostan was translated into Dutch in 1688 by Daniel Havart.
If I said what's on my mind
you'd turn and walk away
disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
So easy just to say
that everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
I can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you see
a man I'll never be
(instrumental)
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
to hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
(instrumental)
Can't get any stronger
and I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
and hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
Oh you look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you still see
a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me
