لعین (la'in)

  1. accursed; execrable
    Synonyms: ملعون (mal'un), لعنتی (la'nati)
    • c. 1250, Zartusht Bahrām-i Pazhdaw, زراتشت‌نامه [Zarātusht Nāma]:
      جهان گشته بر کام دیو لعین
      شده دور هر کس ز داد و ز دین
      دل اهریمن شاد و خندان شده
      ز گمراهی خلق شادان شده
      jahān gašta bar kām-i dēw-i la'īn
      šuda dūr har kas zi dād u zi dīn
      dil-i ahrīman šād u xandān šuda
      zi gumrāhī-yi xalq šādān šuda
      The world became according to the accursed daeva's desire;
      Everyone became distant from justice and faith.
      Ahriman's heart became happy and laughing;
      He rejoiced from mankind's perdition.
