      من چاکر آنم که دلی برباید
      یا دل به کسی دهد که جان آساید
      آن کس که نه عاشق و نه معشوق کسیست
      در ملک خدای اگر نباشد شاید
      man čakar-i ān-am ki dilē birubāyad

      dar mulk-i xudāy agar na-bāšad šāyad
      I am the servant of he who snatches a heart away,
      Or gives his heart to someone who soothes the soul;
      The person who is neither someone's lover nor beloved
      Is worthy of God's kingdom, should he not be there.
      (Classical Persian transliteration.)
