   • 1641, Mullā Masīh of Pānīpat, رام و سیتا [Rām and Sītā]‎^[1]:

     به هفت اقلیم از عشّاق دلریش
     نمیرد کس به مرگ دلبر خویش
     ندارد هیچ کس بیش از دو کس یاد
     که کس جان داد جز مجنون و فرهاد

     ba haft iqlīm az uššāq-i dilrēš
     na-mīrad kas ba marg-i dilbar-i xwēš
     na-dārad hēč kas bēš az du kas yād
     ki kas jān dād juz majnūn u farhād

     In the Seven Climes, among lovers sick at heart,
     Nobody dies from the death of their beloved.
     Nobody knows of anyone (other than two)
     Who gave up their lives, except for Majnun and Farhad.
