Ghazal 413 (غزل ۴۱۳) · Divan of Hafez
خط عذار یار که بگرفت ماه از او

ān jā bemāl chehre o ḥājat bekhvāh az ū
ey jorʿe-nūsh-e majles-e Jam! sīne pāk dār
k-āyene-ī-st jām-e jahān-bīn ke āh az ū
kerdār-e ahl-e ṣowmeʿe-am kard mey-parast
īn dūd bīn ke nāme-ye man shod sīyāh az ū
solṭān-e gham har ān che tavānad begū bekon
man borde-am be bāde-forūshān panāh az ū

āyā dar īn khayāl ke dārad gadā-ye shahr
rūzī bovad ke yād konad pādeshāh az ū
