Faryod ki umri man mukammal meshud

Charkhi falakam ba dasti modar meshud

Modar merisht tanobi umra medod

Davroni guzashta boz az sar meshud

Help, my life has come to an end

If the wheel of fortune were in mother's hands

My mother would weave my life together again

And the times gone past would start again.
