Agar dil-it dard kunēd, tō zāyam: ma griy.
Agar frawahr hušk šawēd, tārīg ast - ma griy.
Zi sad, hazār mard amāwandtar hē, e zan!
Fradom xwad-it, farroxīh wind - ud tō pas griy.

Verbatim:

If your heart hurts, I ask you: don't cry.
If your soul is dry and dark, don’t cry.
You are stronger than hundreds, thousands of husbands, wife.
First find yourself, find your destiny - and then cry.

Poetic:

If your heart hurts, I ask you: don’t cry.
If it’s burned inside, the soul is sleeping - don’t cry.
Hundreds, thousands of husbands, you are stronger, wife!
Be yourself, find yourself - and then cry.
