dishab ke tu az mehr babam aamada bodididam ke beh az maahe tamaam aamada bodi
taa sham-e shab afrooz rokhat khalq bebinad
baa jilva-e sobh az sar shaam aamada bodi
goya ze falak maah ba zamin aamada imshab
choon dida gshoodam to babaam aamada bodi
mardom negaraan man-o man khod ba tu hairaan
tu bahr tamaashai kodam aamada bodi.
Trans:
Last night, when you came on the roof top
I saw that you were better than the full moon;
For people to see your candle light face
You came in the evening but with the glow of the morning light;
It looked like the moon came down to earth last night
But, when I opened my eyes, I saw you;
People were concerned about me, but I was wondering about you
Whom did you come to see?
