گویی که هست شعله تیغ زبان من آهم که پای لوح و قلم را قلم کند
gōyē ki hast ša'la-yi tēğ-i zabān-i man āham ki pā-yi lawh u qalam rā qalam kunad
The sigh which breaks the base of the tablet and the reed pen [because the sigh of love cannot be written down] Is as if it were a spark from the blade of my tongue.
