  که آنجا پیر و برنا شاد خوارند
  همه کنغالگی را جان سپارند
  جوانان بیشتر زن باره باشند
  در آن زن بارگی پر چاره باشد
  ki ānjā pīr u burnā šād xwārand
  hama kunġalagī rā jān sipārand
  jawānān bēštar zan bāra bāšand
  dar ān zan bāragi pur čāra bāšand
  For the young and old drink alcohol there,
  And everyone gives themselves up to whoredom.
  The young are mostly womanizers,
  Full of tricks in their womanizing.
  (Classical Persian transliteration)
