By God, bearing the pain of your loneliness
Has left the whole world in distress
O! Story of Fatemeh's loneliness
Moharram has become your mourner
Note:
In three of the verses an HLH appears instead of the verse-initial LLH. This form of augmentation for this meter family is common in Arabic but its presence in Persian poetry is limited to the works of non-professional poets. Moreover, note that the last metron in the third verse is LH while it is H in the other three. This too almost never occurs in the work of professional Persian poets but occurs occasionally in Arabic.
