گل و خار همیشه با هم است

گل و خار همیشه با هم است 

gol      va   xār    hamiše bā    ham ast
flower and thorn always with also is
A flower and thorn are always together.
“No rose without a thorn.”
flower – gol – گل
and – va – و
thorn – xār – خار
always – hamiše – همیشه
together – bā ham – با هم
to be– budan – بودن

Well look at that, a collocation. bā ham means with also in a literal sense, but paste on a layer of idiom and get together.

زنبور همیشه پشت گله

زنبور همیشه پشت گله 

zanbur hamiše pošt.e gol-e
bee always behind flower-is
“A bee is always behind the flower.”

bee – zanbur – زنبور
always – hamiše – همیشه
behind (preposition) – pošt.e – پشت
flower – gol – گل

Persian has prepositions, which is somewhat odd (according to typology) for SOV languages. Also, the form of budan is reduced to just a suffixed -e.
