ای ساربان آهسته ران

O camel driver, ride slowly — the comfort of my soul departs And that heart I carried with me departs with my heart's thief

I am left abandoned by her, helpless and aching from her absence As if a sting, far from her, were working through my bones

Hold the litter, camel driver — do not hurry the caravan For love of that moving cypress, my very soul, it seems, departs

She goes, trailing her skirt; I taste the poison of solitude Ask me for no sign of her — the very trace of her leaves my heart

Ay sarban ahesta raw karam janam merawad Waan dil ke ba khod dashtam baa dilsetanam merawad

Man mandam mahjoor az o bechara o ranjoor az o Goyee ke neshi dor az o dar ostkhanam merawad

Goftam ba nayrang o fesoon penhan konam resh daroon Penhan namemanaad ke khon bar aastanam merawad

Mahmel bedar ay sarwan tondi makon ba karwan Kaz ishqe aan sarwe rawan goyee rawanam merawad

O merawad damn kashan man zehar tanhayee chashan Digar mapors az man neshand kaz dil neshanam merawad

Bargasht yar sar kasham begzasht aysh nakhosham Chon mojreme poratasham kaz sar dekhanam merawad

Ba aan hama bedad o wein ahd be bonyad o Dar seyna daram yad o ya bar zabanam merawad

Baz aye o bar chashmam neshin ay dilsetane nazanin Kashob o faryad az zamin bar asemanam merawad

Shab ta sahar menaghnawam o andar ze kas meneshnawam Wein rah na qased merawam kaz kaf enanam merawad

Goftam begeryam ta abl chon gkhor feromand ba gul Wein nez natawanam ke dil ba karwanam merawad

Sabr az wesal yar man bargashtan az dildar man Gar che nabashad kar man ham kar az aanam merawad

Dar raftane jan az badan goyand o har nawe sokhan Man khod ba chashm kheshotan didam ke janam merawad

Saadi feghan az dast ma layeq nabwad ay bewafa Taqat namyaram jafa kar az feghanam merawad
