  برداشته بظلم فراقت ز جان شکیب
  وصل تو کرده بر سر جانها نثار عدل
  bardāšta ba-zulm-i firāqat zi jān šakēb
  wasl-i tu karda bar sar-i jānhā nisār adl
  You have removed patience from the soul by the tyranny of parting from you;
  Reunion with you strews justice upon the head of [your lovers'] souls.
