Stur calligraphy

I had a very difficult day today, so keep it simple for now with my attempts at calligraphy. This is all the same rubai, but here is its Roman transcription (classical Novostur vocalism) and translation:

har sabza ki bar-kanār-i jōy-ī rusta ast
gōyī, zi lab-i firišta-xway-ī rusta ast
pā bar sar-i sabza tā ba xwārī nanihī
k-ān zi xāk-i lāla rōy-ī rusta ast

The grass with which - look! - bordered
The ripples of a ringing stream are fragrant and gentle.
Don't trample her with contempt: perhaps
From the ashes of angelic beauty she arose.
