فلک کینه گرا دوش به آهنگ جفا

همه شب پای فرو هشت به کاشانهٔ ما

گفتم از بهر چکار آمده‌ای گفت که جور

گفتم از بهر چه تقصیر بود گفت: وفا

Last night, the vengeful heavens with a song of betrayal,

Pressed its foot upon our dwelling all night long.

I asked: "For what reason have you come?" It said: "for oppression."

I asked: "And what fault have I committed?" It said: "Faithfulness."
