- c. 1260, Saʿdī, “Rubaʿī 18”, in دیوان سعدی [The Divān of Saʿdī]‎:
  آن ماه که گفتی ملک رحمانست
  این بار اگرش نگه کنی شیطانست
  رویی که چو آتش به زمستان خوش بود
  امروز چو پوستین به تابستانست
  ān māh ki guftī malak-i rahmān ast
  īn bār agar-aš nigah kunī šaytān ast
  rōyē ki čō ātiš ba zimistān xwaš būd
  imrōz čō pōstēn ba tābistān ast
  That beauty whom you said was the angel of the Lord:
  If you see him this time, he is the Devil!
  That face which was pleasant like fire in winter,
  Is today like a fur coat in summer.
  (Classical Persian transliteration.)
  (The poem references the growth of facial hair, which spoils the beauty of the adolescent male beloved.)
