### Key Concepts
- **Waxen Heart**: The softening of the heart like wax represents its complete submission and vulnerability to the fire of love.

<p>آن دل که چو موم نرمم آمدبی تو<br />
از بس که بسوخت شرمم آمد بی تو</p>
<p>تادیدهام از دور ترا شمع توام<br />
زان در دهن آب گرمم آمد بی تو</p>

## English translation
That heart which became soft as wax without you,
Burned so much that I grew ashamed without you.
Since I have seen you from afar, I have been your candle;
That is why hot water came into my mouth without you.
