Quatrain 20

My soul keeps telling the story of that eloquent, moon like face, and my heart looks to those charming lips for all its longing. If the reflection of that face ever fell upon the meadow, wild tulips would spring up from every patch of earth.
Explanation: The moon here is the beloved, whose beauty is so radiant it could make flowers bloom from bare ground.

گر عکس رخش بر چمن افتد روزی از خاک همه لالهٔ خودرو روید
