     بهر صحرا که گریان کرده‌ام ره دور ازان کاکل
     یقین میدان که بی بوی غم عشقت گیاهی نیست

     ba har sahrā ki giryān karda'am rah dūr az ān kākul
     yaqīn mēdān ki bē bō-yi ġam-i išqat giyāhē nēst

     In each wasteland where I wept, the road was distant from those locks of hair;
     Know for sure that there are no plants [there] without the scent of grief from loving you.
