    • c. 1390, Shams-ud-Dīn Muḥammad Ḥāfiẓ, “Ghazal 255”, in دیوان حافظ [The Divān of Ḥāfiẓ]‎[2]:
      گر بهار عمر باشد باز بر تخت چمن
      چتر گل در سر کشی ای مرغ خوشخوان غم مخور
      gar bahār-i umr bāšad bāz bar taxt-i čaman
      čatr-i gul dar sar kašī ay murğ-i xwašxwān ğam ma-xwar
      When the springtime of life is once more upon the meadow's throne,
      The rose's royal parasol will be over your head: sweet-singing bird, do not grieve!
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
