    • 1963, Forugh Farrokhzad, “فتح باغ”, in تولدی دیگر [Another Birth]‎[1]:
      همه میدانند
      که من و تو از آن روزنهٔ سرد عبوس
      باغ را دیدیم
      و از آن شاخهٔ بازیگر دور از دست
      سیب را چیدیم
      hame mi-dânand
      ke man o to az ân rowzane-ye sard-e abus
      bâğ râ didam
      va az ân šâxe-ye bâzigar-e dur az dast
      sib râ čidam
      everyone knows
      that you and I saw the garden
      out of that cold, grim peephole
      and that we plucked the apple
      from that playful branch far from our hands
