Tomb of Baba Taher (the poet who lived in 11th century), Hamedan, Iran.
His tomb is located near the northern entrance of the city. The 20th century mausoleum was reconstructed in 1970. It has twelve external pillars and the central space is filled by the tower itself. The park surrounding the mausoleum has magnificent flowers and winding paths.
هر اون باغی که وارش سر بدر بی مدامش باغبان خونين جگر بی
ببايد کندنش از بيخ و از بن اگر بارش همه لعل و گهر بی
When Trees to grow beyond their boundaries dare,
They Cause the Gardeners much anxious care;
Down to their very roots they must be pruned,
Though Pearls and Rubies be the Fruits they bear.
translated by Elizabeth Curtis Benton, "THE LAMENT OF BABA TAHIR"
