      یار چون باشد شفیق و شیشه در پهلو رفیق
      گر کلیسا باشد از خلد برین بهتر بود
      yār čūn bāšad šafīq u šīša dar pahlū rafīq
      gar kalīsā bāšad az xuld-i barīn bihtar buwad
      When the beloved is affectionate and the wine-glass is a companion by my side,
      Even if it is a church, it is better than the highest paradise.
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
