  گر بهار عمر باشد باز بر تخت چمن
  چتر گل در سر کشی ای مرغ خوشخوان غم مخور
  gar bahār-i umr bāšad bāz bar taxt-i čaman
  čatr-i gul dar sar kašī ay murğ-i xwašxwān ğam ma-xwar
  When the springtime of life is once more upon the meadow's throne,
  The rose's royal parasol will be over your head: sweet-singing bird, do not grieve!
  (Classical Persian transliteration)
