From Jamshid To Bahram

The palace where Jamshid held his cup

The doe and the fox now rest and sup

Bahram who hunted game non-stop

Was hunted by death when his time was up




Jamshid = is mainly known as the first human being created on earth, Adam in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. He had a cup - Jaam e Jam - or Jam(shid)'s cup, that he could see the world through it.

Bahram = Bahram V, the Sassanid king named: Bahram e Goor (Bahram the zebra hunter). He died while he was hunting gazelles, by jumping into a big cave (which means Goor too in Farsi).
