خیال او درون دیده خوشتر
1
خیال او درون دیده خوشتر
غمش افزوده جان کاهیده خوشتر

His image in the eyes, oh, what a splendid sight —

A growing sorrow and a fading soul, a bittersweet delight.

مرا صاحبدلی این نکته آموخت
ز منزل جادهٔ پیچیده خوشتر

A wise heart once imparted this subtle art —

The journey of winding roads is better than the journey’s end apart.
