Machine summary:

"Two persons in a robe like a pistachio in its shell, With two heads emerging from a single collar" As you know, the Sheikh of Shiraz has sometimes spoken in such cases of "the lion's claw grasping the prey," and in any case, it is better that since we have reached this point, we draw the curtain and leave the rest of the matter to the power of visualization and the force of imagination, and ask for prayers, saying: May God make everyone successful and prosperous: The Various Colors of Love and Amorousness Perhaps, by virtue of what he himself has recounted to us, it can be imagined that he had dealings and adventures with every color of love or every kind of beloved, and even sometimes his path led to the quarters of sieve-like slaves and those who strike women, and in his own words, many times he has "plunged up to the collar.
