      به بویِ نافه‌ای کآخر صبا زان طره بگشاید
      ز تابِ جعدِ مشکینش چه خون افتاد در دل‌ها
      ba bûy-i nâfa'i k-âxir sabâ z-ân turra bugšâyad

      By the scent of the musk-pod that morning’s breeze shall open at last from that lock of hair,
      From the musk-black ringlet’s twist, what blood fell into [our] hearts!
