     نداری باز با من گوشه چشمی چه حالست این
     اگر گویی که دل بردارم از مهرت محالست این

     na-dārī bāz bā man gōša-yi čašmē či hāl ast īn
     agar gōyī ki dil bardāram az mihrat muhāl ast īn

     You do not [even] glance at me any more! What is going on?
     If you say that I should take my heart away from loving you, this is impossible.
