      نه آسایم بجز در بیخودی از محنت هجران
      چه باشد جان مهجورم اگر بیخویشتر گردد
      na āsāyam ba-juz dar bēxwadī az mihnat-i hijrān
      či bāšad jān-i mahjūr-am agar bēxwēštar gardad
      I find no peace from the calamity of separation except by losing sense of self,
      What shall become of my forsaken soul if I lose yet more of myself?
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
