  مژهٔ سیاهت ار کرد به خون ما اشارت
  ز فریب او بیندیش و غلط مکن نگارا
  muža-yi sîyâh-at ar kard ba xûn-i mâ išârat
  zi firêb-i ô biyandêš u ğalat ma-kun nigâr-â
  If [the arrow of] your black eyebrow should aim for my blood,
  Consider its perfidy [i.e. the speaker hopes the eyebrow is “deceitful” and does not reflect the beloved’s real attitude towards him], and make no error, my love.
