چرا دیشب به سوی من

Why last night did you not look my way, not look at all? Did you not even secretly smile at me — not smile at all? Was it inattention, or did you fear the presence of rivals?

Lest, O my darling, you be cross with me Lest, O soul, you be swayed by this one's and that one's words

All night from this grief, my sweetheart, I devoured heart's blood With sighing and weeping and lamentation, I saw my night through

Chera dishab ba soye man namididi, namididi Nehane ham ba soye man nakhandidi, nakhandidi Taghafol bod ya az bodane aghyar tarsidi?

Mabada nazanin man, ze-man tu sar geran bashi Khodaye nakhwastaye jan, ba harfe ein o aan bashi

Tamame shab az ein gham dilbare man khoon dil khordam Ba aah o gerya o zaree, shabe khod ra ba sar bordam
