یه حاجی بود یه گربه داشت

یه حاجی بود یه گربه داشت!
گربه‌شو خیلی دوست می‌داشت،
گوشتو خرید، طاقچه گذاشت،
گربه اومد گوشتها رو خورد،
حاجی زد و گربه رو کشت!
رو سنگ قبرش بنوشت:
یه حاجی بود یه گربه داشت!
گربه‌شو خیلی دوست می‌داشت
گوشتو خرید، طاقچه گذاشت…

Ye hāji bud ye gorbe dāsht!
Gorbasho kheyli dust midāsht
Gushto kharid, tāqche gozāsht…
