from Homam ghazal in Persian language:

:Насими субх, меояд зи куй дилситони мо,:Бар он боди абирафшон барафшонем ҷони мо.:Чу мо бо дарди муштоқӣ бурун рафтем аз олам,:Миёни дӯстон умре бимонад достони мо.:Биҳищту хур мебошад муроди мардум аз тоат,:Вале дидори ёр омад биҳишти ҷовидони мо.:Дар ин вайрона зоронро бувад унсе зи нодонй,:Ба Қофи кӯрб мезебад чу Симурғ ошёни мо.:Ба чон бишнав ҳар он маъни, ки аз лафзи Ҳумом ояд,:Ки бӯи ҷон ҳамеояд зи назми дӯстони мо.

meaning:

"The morning wind is blowing from our mountains. For that wind we are giving our soul. As we went out with this pain from the world. Among friends our works(dostan) will remain. People's hope is paradise, but seeing our friends is our lifetime paradise. In this ruin to paltries take habits knowledgeless(being ignorant). Hear from your deepest heart every meaning what is coming from Homam's lips as the smell of soul is coming from the poetry of our friends."
