Quatrain 23

If your embrace takes my restless hand in its own, and this pain and separation flee into the wild, then my whole state grows well again from your face, and my fortune rises tall, like your graceful height.
Explanation: The Persian plays on the beloved's 'height' (qad) to mean both physical grace and the poet's own rising fortune.

Original · Persian

رباعی شمارهٔ ۲۳

گر وصل تو دست من شیدا گیرد وین درد و فراق راه صحرا گیرد
هم حال من از روی تو نیکو گردد هم کار من از قد تو بالا گیرد
