- c. 1580, Vahshī Bāfqī, “شرح پریشانی”, in گزیده اشعار [Selected Poems]:
- عشقِ من شد سببِ خوبی و رعناییِ او
داد رسوایی من شهرتِ زیباییِ او
بس که دادم همهجا شرحِ دلاراییِ او
شهر پُر گشت ز غوغایِ تماشاییِ او- išq-i man šud sabab-i xūbī u ra'nāyī-yi ō
dād ruswāyī-yi man šuhrat-i zēbāyī-yi ō
bas ki dādam hama jā šahr-i dilārāyī-yi ō
šahr pur gašt zi ğawğā-yi tamāšāyī-yi ō - My love was responsible for her fairness and charms;
My infamy gave her the fame of her beauty;
Everywhere, so often did I explain how she adorned men's hearts,
The town became full of the tumult of men wanting to see her.
- išq-i man šud sabab-i xūbī u ra'nāyī-yi ō
