هزار • (hazâr) (plural هزارها)

   • 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 89:

     گر عاشقی بپیشت افغان کند عجب نیست
     هر جا گلیست باشد هم ناله هزاری

     gar āšiqī ba-pēšat afġān kunad ajab nēst
     har jā gulē-st bāšad ham nāla-yi hazārē

     If a lover wails before you, it is nothing strange;
     Wherever there is a rose, there is also the lament of a nightingale.
