- c. 1380, Jahān Malik Khātūn, “Ghazal 245”, in دیوان جهان [Divān-i Jahān]‎^[1]:
  غمزده‌ی سوگوار شب همه شب تا به روز
  بر در تو سر زند هیچ نگویی که کیست
  ġamzada-yi sōgwār-i šab hama šab tā ba rōz
  bar dar-i tu sar zanad hēč na-gūyī ke kī-st
  Every night until day, the mournful griever of the night
  Strikes his head against your door, but you never say, "Who's that?"
  (Classical Persian romanization)
