اگر آن تُرکِ شیرازی به‌‌ دست‌ آرَد دلِ ما را

به خال هِندویَش بَخشَم سَمَرقند و بُخارا را

agar an tork shirazi be dast arad del ma ra

be khal henduyash bakhsham samarghand o bokhara ra

بده ساقی مِیِ باقی که در جَنَّت نخواهی یافت

کنارِ آبِ رُکناباد و گُل‌گَشتِ مُصَلّا را

bedeh saghi mi baghi ke dar jannat nakhuahi yaaft

kenar ab roknabad o gol-gasht mosalla ra
