   • mid-1600s, Mohammad Qoli Salim Tehrani, “Ghazal 721”, in دیوان سلیم تهرانی:

     منم که ساخته‌ام سور با عزا مربوط
     شده‌ست در کف من نیل با حنا مربوط
     دلم ز فیض محبت هوس نمی داند
     که نیست غنچه‌ی این باغ با صبا مربوط

     man-am ki sāxta-am sūr bā azā marbūt
     šuda-st dar kaf-i man nīl bā hinnā marbūt
     dil-am zi fayz-i muhabbat hawas na-mē-dānad
     ki nēst ğunča-yi īn bāğ bā sabā marbūt

     It is I who have prepared a wedding feast mingled with mourning;
     On my hand, the [blue] indigo has gotten mingled with [red] henna.
     My heart cannot tell apart the grace of love from lust,
     For no rosebud in this garden is mingled with the breeze.
