Quatrain 14

Tonight, with my love here to light up my soul, my fortune wins out, no matter what my enemies wish. Let the candle die and the moon go down, I don't care: any night you're beside me is bright as day.
Explanation: The candle and moon stand for ordinary light sources, which the beloved's presence outshines.

رباعی شمارهٔ ۱۴

امشب که حضور یار جان افروزست بختم به خلاف دشمنان پیروزست
گو «شمع بمیر و مه فرو شو» که مرا آن شب که تو در کنار باشی روزست
