I will rise and go, for waiting is unbearable;
I will lay my life at her feet, for she is my heart's peace.
And before enemy and friend alike I will confess:
«the one who killed me has my full forgiveness.»
Explanation: 'Killed me' is the lover's dramatic idiom for being overwhelmed by love; the beloved's cruelty is willingly forgiven.

رباعی شمارهٔ ۱۷
خیزم بروم چو صبر نامحتملست
جان در قدمش کنم که آرامِ دلست
و اقرار کنم برابر دشمن و دوست
«کآن کس که مرا بکشت از من بحلست»
