شب چو در بستم

When at night I closed the door and drunkenly feasted on pure wine If the moon knocked at the door with its ring, I gave it an answer

You saw that Tartar enemy — she is the enemy of my soul Although for a lifetime I mistakenly called her a friend

The dwelling became the eyes of strangers I wept so much I ruined it

When I told the candle the tale of the moth's burnt heart I set a fire in its heart and then cooled its flame

Shab cho dar bastam o mast az may nabash kardam Mah agar halqa badar koft jawabash kardam

Didi an tark khata doshman janast mara Gar ch omre ba khata dost hesabash kardam

Manzel mardome begana cho shod mardom chashem An qadar gerya namodam ke kharabash kardam

Sharah dagh dil parwana cho goftam ba shama Atashe dar dilash afganda o abash kardam

Gharq khoon bod o namimord ze hasrat farhad Khwandam afsanaye shirin o khwabash kardam

Dil ke khonabaye gham o jigar goshaye dehar Bar sar atash jor tu kababash kardam

Zendagi kardan man mordan tadriji bowad Anche jan kanad tanam omr hesabash kardam
