دیوار • (divâr) (plural دیوارها (divâr-hâ))

1. wall
   • c. 1260s, Jalāl ad-Dīn Mohammad Rūmī, translated by Reynold A. Nicholson, مثنوی معنوی [Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi], volume I, verse 214:

     گرچه دیوار افکند سایه‌‌ی دراز
     باز گردد سوی او آن سایه باز

     garči dēwār afkand sāya-yi darāz
     bāz gardad sōy-i ō ān sāya bāz

     Although the wall casts a long shadow, yet at last the shadow turns back again towards it [as the sun moves].
