Ghazal of Love
O new spring, who is there to comfort you?
In the garden of your love, my soul, who is the beloved?
You left to become the nightingale of every thorn and weed
who mourns over your bleeding heart?
There where they deal out your gain and your loss
who keeps the curtain over your burned treasure?
I am the dust of your path, but tell me
on the road to your rose garden, who is the lone rider?
Before your spring slips from your hand
come back, see who is scarred by grief for you.
What can the eye see of the world apart from you?
Who but death walks beside this field of thorns?

غزل عشق
Maani
ای نو بهار تو را غمگسار کیست؟
در باغ عشق تو جانا نگار کیست؟
رفتی که بلبل هر خارو خس شوی
بر خونچکان دلت سوگوار کیست؟
آنجا که سود و زیان تو می دهند
با گنج سوخته ات پرده دار کیست؟
من خاک راه تو هستم ولی بگو
در راه گلشن تو تک سوار کیست؟
زان پیش تر که بهارت زکف رود
بازا ببین زغمت داغدار کیست؟
چشم از جهان چه ببیند جدا ز تو؟
جز مرگ همره این خارزار کیست؟
