📌در شرّآموزی!

نیامُختم بدی‌خویی مگر تا زان کنم پرهیــــــز!
هر آن‌کو بد زمردم نامُزَد زان می‌شود لبریز!

@ClassyArabic ابوفراس حمدانی (د. ۳۵۷ ق.)

چو پیشی می‌گرفت ابری، به صبرش
بخواندم، چون که خود گریان چو ابرم!

بگفتَمْش ار تو گریی، لحظه گریی
ولی من دائماً مَشکست و اشکم!

بیا باور کنم، اَشکت چو اَشکم
بُوَد سوزان تو را دردی چو دردم؟!
