If King Jamshid’s diamond cup breaks, that’s it
One can sigh, but a lifetime is needed to finish it
When the Great One gestures to me
For tomorrow’s sake, don’t skimp with me on the wine today
I am confused: should I cry over my heart, or slap my chest?
She has a habit of torture, but doesn't mean to end the love
For my weak heart this living in the sorrow house
Religious people are always praising the Garden of Paradise
Only a few faces show up as roses
I agree that I’m in a cage, and I’m crying
Each time I open my mouth, the Great One says
My heart is becoming restless again
