‘Dancing Dervishes’, Folio from a Divan of Hafiz, panting attributed to Bihzad, ca. 1480
Рақс бар шеъри тару нолаи най хуш бошад,
Хоса рақсе ки дар он дасти нигоре гиранд.
- Ҳофиз
Dancing to the poetry of the tar and the plaintive note of the flute is delightful,
Especially a dance in which they take hold of the hand of a beloved.
- Hafez

Мутрибоншон аз дарун даф мезананд,
Баҳрҳо дар шӯрашон каф мезананд.
- Мавлоно Ҷалолуддин Балхӣ
From within them musicians strike the tambourine;
At their ecstasy the seas burst into foam.
- Jalaludin Rumi
