  شدم از گریه کور ای سنگدل بر یاد تو صد شکر
  که چشم از دیدن غیر تو خوش بردوختم دیگر
  šudam az girya kōr ay sangdil bar yād-i tō sad šukr
  ki čašm az dīdan-i ġayr-i tō xwaš bar-dōxtam dīgar
  I went blind from weeping. O coldhearted one, a hundred thanks to memories of you
  That I have stitched my eyes shut from seeing anyone other than you again!
  (Classical Persian transliteration)
