From Persian

Sa’di
Come, I am lovesick and desolate without you 

Come and see how sick I am in this sorrow without you 

At night I lament your absence, oh fairy-faced, 

And when the morning comes, it is as if I am on fire without you. 

Sarkhosh 

Love came, and away went patience and fortitude, 

As did endurance and tranquility, comfort and sleep. 

This flame of love set my heart on fire 

This flood of love drowned me.
