Athelas
When the black breath blows,
And death's shadow grows,
and all lights pass,
Come Athelas! Come Athelas!
Life to the dying,
In the king's hand lying!
- Athelas:
Athelas, also known as Kingsfoil or asëa aranion ("Beneficial of Kings"), was a sweet-smelling herb with healing powers, such as curing wounds, poison and counteracting evil influence such as the Black Breath. (Tolkien Gateway)

Persian translationPersian
آتلاس
وقتی نفس سیاه نزدیک دمید
یا سایه مرگ بس فزونی ورزید
آنگاه که روشنی همه دربها بست،
بنورد گیاه آتلاس در کف دست!
جانبخش برای او که جانش بسپرد
آنگه که، به دست شاه، خود گردد خُرد!
