می‌شود پردهٔ چشمم پر کاهی گاهی
1
می‌شود پردهٔ چشمم پر کاهی گاهی
دیده‌ام هردو جهان را به نگاهی گاهی

A straw, at times, becomes the screen of my eye; And with one look, at times, I have seen both the worlds.

2
وادی عشق بسی دور و دراز است ولی
طی شود جادهٔ صدساله به آهی گاهی

The Valley of Love is a long way away, and yet, at times, The journey of a hundred years is covered in a sigh.

3
در طلب کوش و مده دامن امید ز دست
دولتی هست که یابی سر راهی گاهی

Persist in your search, and do not let go of the hem of hope- There is a treasure that, at times, you will find by the way.
