Rafti-O-Ham-Chunan Ba-Khayal-e-Man Andari

Sheikh Saadi

rafti-o-ham-chunan ba-khayal-e-man andari

goi ki dar barabar-e-chashmam musavviri

fikre ba-muntaha-e-jamalat nami-rasad

kaz harche dar khayal-e-man aayad neko tari

tu khud farishta-i na aziin gul sarishta-i

gar khalq ze-abo-khak tu az mushk-o-ambari

maara shikayate ze-tu gar hast ham ba-tust

kaz tu ba digare na-tavan burd davari

chandan ki zohd buud davidem dar talab

koshish che suud chuun na-kunad bakht yavari

‘sadi’ ba-vasl-e-dost chu dastat nami-rasad

baari ba-yad-e-dost zamane basar bari
