به نام خداوند جان‌آفرین

In the name of the Lord who creates the soul,

حکیم سخن در زبان‌آفرین

the Wise One who creates speech upon the tongue;

خداوند بخشندهٔ دستگیر

the generous Lord who takes us by the hand,

کریم خطابخش پوزش‌پذیر

the Kind One who forgives our faults and accepts our pleas.

Ghazal · 14th centuryDraft

بلبلی برگ گلی خوش رنگ در منقار داشت

و اندر آن برگ و نوا خوش ناله‌های زار داشت

A nightingale held in its beak a rose petal of lovely colour,

and with that petal and its song it made sweet, piteous laments.

A nightingale held a rose petal
