Human’s limited life span has been a constant preoccupation for them. Iranian scholars have, over centuries, spoken of the secret to a long life. Saeb Tabrizi, a poet of the 11th century, has elaborated on the issue from various perspectives. This article primarily reveals the factors, which he believed lead to a prolonged human life, followed by an enumeration of the elements which, according to him, shortened the life span. A discussion of the similes he used for life and the notions he portrayed by each will form another section of the article. Referring to his critical and sardonic regard of a longing for the long life of Khezr’s and the consequences of a long life, the article concludes, reminding the readers that more important than the length is the depth of human life.
