Comparison method and source alignment
Only letters and numbers are compared. Spaces, punctuation, vowel marks and invisible characters are ignored. Whole words are highlighted to preserve Persian joining. Stored spacing and supplied Ganjoor English are preserved. English has not been revised to match Jalal Khaleghi.
Rows follow Jalal Khaleghi’s headings and order. Ganjoor source labels identify the original TXT section and couplet; those labels are outside the poem. Notes explain different ordering, section boundaries, and partial correspondence. Blank counterparts describe this alignment, not a judgment that a verse was added or deleted historically.
