     چو خط که از لب لعلت دمد رقم نتوان کرد
     اگر شوند چو یاقوت قدسیان همه کاتب

     čū xatt ki az lab-i la'lat damad raqam natawān kard
     agar šawand čū yāqūt-i qudsiyān hama kātib

     When the line of hair blooms from your ruby lips, it cannot be written down
     Even were all the scribes to become like the Yāqūt of the angels.
