Dele khish raa begoftam cho to doost migereftam_________ I told my heart, when I was taking you as my beloved
Na ajab ke khoob ruyaan bekonand bivafaayi______________ no wonder that the comely behave faithlessly

Sokhani ke baa to daaram be nasime sobh goftam_________ the word that I have with you, to the morning breeze I told it
Degari nemishenaasam, to bebar ke aashenaayi___________ I do not know any other, you take it since you are familiar

Man az aan gozashtam ey yaar ke beshnavam nasihat______ oh my beloved, I do not heed listening to admonitions any more
Boro ey faghih o baa maa maforoosh paarsaayi___________ Go away, you ascetic and do not sell piety to us

To ke gofteyi ta'ammol nakonam jamaale khoobaan________ you who have said I do not think about the blessed's beauty
Bekoni agar cho sa'di nazari biyaazemaayi________________ you will, if like Sa'di you examine it in a glance

Dare chashme baamdaadan, be behesht bargoshoodan_____ opening the eye of the dawns on the paradise
Na chonaan latif baashad ke be doost bargoshaayi_________ is not so much delicate as opening it on the face of the beloved
