- اولا بر بست یک چشم و بدید ** نور روی او و آن چشمش پرید

- Then a woman said to her, “Art thou grieving for the jonquil-like eye that thou hast lost?”
- پس زنی گفتش ز چشم عبهری ** که ز دستت رفت حسرت میخوری

- گفت حسرت میخورم که صد هزار ** دیده بودی تا همیکردم نثار
- The window, (which is) mine eye, has been ruined by the Moon; but the Moon is seated (there) like the (buried) treasure in the ruin.
