In Persia, traditionally we have some
the court philosopher, the court flatterer to baptize our religious King by
some kinds of philosophizing. One of them is Javādī-Āmolī who, to criticize or anything, just

of one of the greatest poets in Persian language, Obeyd Zākāni (1300 – 1371), in his political

the Cat. The cat, after swallowing some mouse, want to
be forgiven by God, an
ancient relationship between power/religion, and for this purpose he vows some
(i.e. 6 kilos) of bread*. The gist is a bread-lie. This gigantic Persian cat
much better knows who need bread and why. The bread has more importance to him
rather than Mīr-

بار الها که توبه کردم من
ندرم موش را بدندانا
بهر این خون ناحق ای خلاق
من تصدق دهم دو من نانا
