The translation presented here is, possibly and hopefully, the most polite form which you can use.

133- There is no definite phrases i would like to get translated, but i would like to know some (or as many as possible) expressions using “jegar” or liver. I know you can say sweet things like “liver of my soul”, but I heard that liver expressions can be nasty also. So I hope you could think of some and add them to “your words” page on your great site.
Well, the above paragraph is sent to me in a message and I decided to post the message first to put you in the picture. As you just read in the message, 
jigar /jigær/ or jegar /jegær/ is sometimes used by the Iranians. The main meaning of this word is ‘liver’. However, the Iranains (usually the naughty ones!!) use it in different contexts. Sometimes, it is used to call a beautiful girl who is just passing by! For example, you may say (please don’t use it on my behalf!!) ‘jigar’ to a girl whom you don’t know but you just want to say something to have some fun! (You are not advised to do that for this is nasty or impolite!). Sometimes, you may say 
/jigæreto beræm/
or 
/jigæreto bokhoræm/
which, in word for word translation, mean ‘may I eat your liver!’. But it means ‘I love you very much’. Such expressions are not very polite to express your love with. However, you may use them for your very close friends.
134- No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. (The very close equivalent of this phrase in Persian is this)

135- You bring out the real happiness in me. I am forever grateful for your love – and even though I am so far, I will be back with my love soon.
