    • c. 1520, Selim I of the Ottoman Empire, edited by Benedek Péri, The Persian Dīvān of Yavuz Sulṭān Selīm, Budapest, Hungary: Research Centre for the Humanities, Eötvös Loránd Research Network, →ISBN, page 190:
      لب لعلت عجب از عین نزاکت شکریست
      که کرانی بود از سایه بال مگسش
      lab-i la'lat ajab az ayn-i nazākat-i šakarī-st
      ki karānē buwad az sāya-yi bāl-i magasaš
      Strange that your ruby lips are from the essence of sugar's tenderness,
      For one side of it is from the shadow of the fly's wings [i.e. it is very small].
      (Classical Persian transliteration)
