Omar Khayyam: "This pot once had a mind in love..." (From Persian)

"This pot once had a mind in love..."
Omar Khayyam
Click to hear me recite the original in Persian

This pot once had a mind in love like me,
Held by a lock of hair's captivity.
That handle at its neck was once a hand
Clasping a lover's neck insatiably.

The Original:

این کوزه چو من عاشق زاری بوده است

در بند سر زلف نگاری بوده‌ست

این دسته که بر گردن او می‌بینی

دستی‌ست که برگردن یاری بوده‌ست

Tajik Cyrillic:

Ин кӯза чӯ ман ошиқи зоре будаст,

Дар банди сари зулфи нигоре будаст.

В-ин даста, ки бар гардани ӯ мебинӣ,

Дастест, ки бар гардани ёре будаст.

Romanization:

Īn kōza ču man 'āšiq-i zārē būdast,
Dar band-i sar-i zulf-i nigārē būdast.
W-īn dasta, ki bar gardan-i ō mēbīnī,
Dastēst, ki bar gardan-i yārē būdast.
