  چه سازم از دلم جز میوه دردت که حاصل نیست
  در این جایی که تیغ غمزه‌ات کردست دهقانی
  či sāzam az dilam juz mēwa-yi dardat ki hāsil nēst
  dar īn jāyē ki tēġ-i ġamza'at kardast dihqānī
  What shall I make of my heart save the fruit of love-pain for you? For there is no harvest
  In this place where the tillage has been done by the blade of your flirting winks.
  (Classical Persian transliteration)
