az mah-ruKHan agar na-giri tu kanar
az māh-ruḳhāñ agar na-gīrī tū kanār
lazzat na-barī beshtar az bos-o-kanār
iiñ sīm-barāñ shefta-e-sīm-o-zar and
naqd-e-dil-o-jāñ ba-dast-e-īshāñ ma-sapār
If you do not give up meeting the sweet-faced ones,
You cannot get much pleasure from kisses and embraces.
These silver-bodied ones are devoted only to gold and silver,
Give not your wealth of soul and heart to them.
az mah-ruKHan agar na-giri tu kanar
lazzat na-bari beshtar az bos-o-kanar
in sim-baran shefta-e-sim-o-zar and
naqd-e-dil-o-jaan ba-dast-e-ishan ma-sapar
If you do not give up meeting the sweet-faced ones,
You cannot get much pleasure from kisses and embraces.
These silver-bodied ones are devoted only to gold and silver,
Give not your wealth of soul and heart to them.
