Ma rendi pur contento
della mia bella il core,
e ti perdono, amore,
se lieto il mio non è.

Gli affanni suoi pavento
più degli affanni miei,
perché più vivo in lei
di quel ch'io vivo in me.

تنها او را دلشاد کن

Language: Persian (Farsi) after the Italian (Italiano)

Choose for Diff

تنها،
قلب دلدار زیبایم را از شادی لبریز گردان،
و تو را می بخشایم، ای عشق!
حتی اگر قلب من، خود شادی را نیابد.

برای رنج‌های او
بیش از سختی‌های خود بیمناکم،
چرا که زندگی من، بار‌ها بیش تر از خودم، 
در اوست که جریان می‌یابد.
