      چرا همی‌شکنی جان من ز سنگدلی
      دل ضعیف که باشد به نازکی چو زجاج
      čirā hamē-šikanī jān-i man zi sangdilī
      dil-i za'īf ki bāšad ba nāzukī čū zujāj
      Why is my soul shattering, through hardness of heart,
      My feeble heart, which is like glass in its delicateness?
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
