lyrics

هوسی است در سر من که سر بشر ندارم
من از این هوس چنانم که ز خود خبر ندارم
دو هزار ملک بخشد شه عشق هر زمانی
من از او به جز جمالش طمعی دگر ندارم
کمر و کلاه عشقش به دو کون مر مرا بس
چه شد ار کله بیفتد چه غم ار کمر ندارم
سحری ببرد عشقش دل خسته را به جایی
که ز روز و شب گذشتم خبر از سحر ندارم

سفری فتاد جان را به ولایت معانی
که سپهر و ماه گوید که چنین سفر ندارم
ز فراق جان من گر ز دو دیده در فشاند
تو گمان مبر که از وی دل پرگهر ندارم
چه شکرفروش دارم که به من شکر فروشد
که نگفت عذر روزی که برو شکر ندارم
بنمودمی نشانی ز جمال او ولیکن
دو جهان به هم برآید سر شور و شر ندارم

(NB: the second stanza might be arranged horizontally beside the first, rather than underneath it, in Farsi script layout.)
