Today within this place
Is dancing to be seen
Whose superhuman grace
Perfection doth demean.

And if of this display
Thou disapproving art,
Yon moon will shed his ray
E’en in they gloomy heart.

Ke kûll-e kamâl pîsh-e ôu nûqsân ást.

Var dar tô ze enkâr raghî jûnbân ást,
Ân mâh dar enkâr-e tô ham tâbân ást.
