- early 1300s, Awhadī Marāğa'i, “Ghazal 258”, in دیوان اوحدی‎:
  از بس که کردم سرزنش دل را به یاد آوردنش
  بیچاره از سرکوب پر حیران و گیج و دنگ شد
  az bas ki kardam sarzaniš dil rā ba yād āwardan-aš
  bēčāra az sarkōb pur hayrān u gēj u dang šud
  So much did I blame my heart that, when it remembered,
  It could not help but become confused and dizzy and astonished from the rebuke.
  (Classical Persian romanization)
