مُوافِقَت • (movâfeqat)

1. agreement; consent

   Synonym: توافق (tavâfoq)

2. conformity
   • c. 1260, Rumi, دیوان شمس تبریزی [Dīvān-i Shams-i Tabrīzī]‎^[1]:

     ما در جهان موافقت کس نمی‌کنیم
     ما خانه زیر گنبد اطلس نمی‌کنیم
     مخمور و مست و تشنه و بسیار خواره‌ایم
     بس کرده‌اند جمله و ما بس نمی‌کنیم

     mā dar jahān muwāfaqat-i kas na-mē-kunēm
     mā xāna zēr-i gumbad-i atlas na-mē-kunēm
     maxmur u mast u tišna u bisyār xwāra-ēm
     bas karda-and jumla wa mā bas na-mē-kunēm.

     We will not conform to anyone in this world;
     We will make no house under the satin dome [of heaven];
     We are tipsy and drunk, we are thirsty and glutted;
     They have all done enough, we will do no more.
