     نه آسایم بجز در بیخودی از محنت هجران
     چه باشد جان مهجورم اگر بیخویشتر گردد

     na āsāyam ba-juz dar bēxwadī az mihnat-i hijrān
     či bāšad jān-i mahjūr-am agar bēxwēštar gardad

     I find no peace from the calamity of separation except by losing sense of self,
     What shall become of my forsaken soul if I lose yet more of myself?

     (Classical Persian transliteration)
