If my beloved takes on the ways of the drunk and plays a thousand tricks on those who love him,
don't lose hope in him, for in the end he will make everything easy for you.
Explanation: The 'ways of the drunk' evokes the beloved's careless, teasing coquetry, a common image in Persian love poetry.

گر دلبر من شیوه مستان گیرد
بر عاشقان خود هزار دستان گیرد
نومید مشو ازو،که در آخر کار
هم عاقبت کار تو آسان گیرد
