The threads of life are woven in a rug That tells a tale of beauty and of pain Each knot a memory, each colour a stain Of joy or sorrow, love or hate, or both
The patterns are complex and geometric But not without some flaws and variations For nothing is perfect in this world of creations And every rug has secrets in its fabric
Some rugs are bright and vivid, some are dull Some rugs are soft and warm, some rough and cold Some rugs are new and fresh, some worn and old But every rug has stories to unfold
A Persian rug is more than just a thing It is a work of art, a history, a song It is a gift from those who laboured long To weave their dreams and hopes in every string
