     شدم از گریه کور ای سنگدل بر یاد تو صد شکر
     که چشم از دیدن غیر تو خوش بردوختم دیگر

     šudam az girya kōr ay sangdil bar yād-i tō sad šukr
     ki čašm az dīdan-i ğayr-i tō xwaš bardōxtam dīgar

     I went blind from weeping. O coldhearted one, a hundred thanks to memories of you
     That I have stitched my eyes shut from seeing anyone other than you again!

     (Classical Persian transliteration)
