  • Bough and leaf were set free from the prison of earth, lifted their heads, and became comrades of the wind;
  • شاخ و برگ از حبس خاک آزاد شد ** سر بر آورد و حریف باد شد

  • The leaves, when they had burst (forth from) the bough, made haste to reach the top of the tree;

  • در هوای عشق حق رقصان شوند ** همچو قرص بدر بی‌‌نقصان شوند

  • جسمشان در رقص و جانها خود مپرس ** و آن که گرد جان از آنها خود مپرس‌‌
