در وفای عشق تو مشهور خوبانم چو شمع the fame of your faithful love I spread, like candle

Just like a candle, well known to the lovers, I am faithful to your love
I sat at night with guards and sly drinkers of love wine, like candle

Just like a candle I keep company of the night watches and shrewd men
day and night the sleep didn't come to my sad mourning eyes

again I cried cry longing for you, like candle
