sahl mī-gīram chū bā mā karda.ī
garche mī-gīram ki amdan karda.ī
I came with kindness, yet you struck me so,
Though I knew well it was no accident.
man ḳhud az saudā-e-tū sargashta-am
har zamāñ bā man che safarā karda.ī
Your love has left me restless and undone,
Yet every hour you deal me only blows.
nāz-e-dīgar mī-kunī har sā.ate
shaad baash ahsanata zebā karda.ī
You flaunt your airs, your postures, and your pride—
And call that a victory.
'anvarī' chuuñ dar sar-e-kār-e-tū shud
bar-sar-e-ḳhalqash che rusvā karda.ī
When Anvari trusted your sweet lies,
You dragged him to disgrace in public sight.
sahl mi-giram chu ba ma kardai
garche mi-giram ki amdan kardai
I came with kindness, yet you struck me so,
Though I knew well it was no accident.
man KHud az sauda-e-tu sargashta-am
har zaman ba man che safara kardai
Your love has left me restless and undone,
Yet every hour you deal me only blows.
naz-e-digar mi-kuni har saate
shad bash ahsanata zeba kardai
You flaunt your airs, your postures, and your pride—
And call that a victory.
'anwari' chun dar sar-e-kar-e-tu shud
bar-sar-e-KHalqash che ruswa kardai
When Anvari trusted your sweet lies,
You dragged him to disgrace in public sight.
