  • He has not done this thing; and if he has, ’tis right: let him do whatever he will, (for) he is my beloved.
  • این نکردست او و گر کرد او رواست  ** هر چه خواهد گو بکن محبوب ماست

  • Even the good eyes are evil to him in respect of (their) jealousy, for his beauty is infinite.
  • چشمهای نیک هم بر وی به دست  ** از ره غیرت که حسنش بی‌حدست 
  • I want a mouth as broad as heaven to describe the qualities of him who is envied by the angels;
  • یک دهان خواهم به پهنای فلک  ** تا بگویم وصف آن رشک ملک
