     در جهان بس که به غم صحبت من در پیوست
     باورم نیست که جز غم بجهان چیزی هست

     dar jahān bas ki ba ğam suhbat-i man dar paywast
     bāwaram nīst ki juz ğam ba-jahān čīzē hast

     So much have I been bound to the company of grief in the world
     That I do not believe that anything exists in the world except for grief.
