his poetry is simple, short and deep
Though Moslems for my sins condemn and chide me,
Like heathens to my idol I confide me;
Yea, when I perish of a drunken bout,
I'll call on wine, whatever doom betide me.

نوميد نيم چو بت پرستان ز كنشت
. اما سحري كه ميرم از مخموري .
مي خواهم و معشوق،چه دوزخ چه بهشت
