jan zatan burdi wa darjani hunooz,
dard-ha daadi wa darmani hunooz.
aashkara seen-e am bashugaafti,
hamchunan dar seen-e pinhani hunooz.
ma za girya chun namak bagudakhtim,
tu bakhunda shukr afshani hunooz.
- Amir Khusrau
you left me lifeless, and yet, you are my life
pain you gave me aplenty, and yet, you are the only cure
shamelessly you pierced my chest and ripped out the heart
but within its darkest depths, you still somewhere hide
why should I cry if you grind salt into my wounds?
for such attention, my master, my king, I am forever grateful
