  • هر چه آید بر زبانتان بی‌‌حذر ** همچو طفلان یگانه با پدر
  • (And) without fear, whatever comes upon your tongues, like only children with their father;
  • ز آن که این دمها چه گر نالایق است ** رحمت من بر غضب هم سابق است‌‌
  • For what if these words (of yours) are unseemly? My mercy likewise is prior (superior) to My wrath.
  • از پی اظهار این سبق ای ملک ** در تو بنهم داعیه‌‌ی اشکال و شک‌‌
  • In order to manifest this priority, O angel, I will put in thee incitement to perplexity and doubt,
  • تا بگویی و نگیرم بر تو من ** منکر حلمم نیارد دم زدن‌‌
  • That thou mayst speak and I not take offence at thee, (so that) none who denies My clemency may dare to utter a word.
  • صد پدر صد مادر اندر حلم ما ** هر نفس زاید در افتد در فنا 2675
  • Within My (infinite) clemency (the clemencies of) a hundred fathers and a hundred mothers at every moment are born and vanish.
  • حلم ایشان کف بحر حلم ماست ** کف رود آید ولی دریا به جاست‌‌
  • Their clemency is (but) the foam of the sea of My clemency: the foam comes and goes, but the sea is (always) there.’’
  • خود چه گویم پیش آن در این صدف ** نیست الا کف کف کف کف‌‌
  • What indeed shall I say? Compared with that pearl (Divine clemency) this oyster-shell (human clemency) is naught but the foam of the foam of the foam of foam.
  • حق آن کف حق آن دریای صاف ** که امتحانی نیست این گفت و نه لاف‌‌
  • By the truth of that foam, by the truth of that pure sea, (I swear) that these words (of mine) are not (meant to make) trial of thee and are not vain.
  • از سر مهر و صفاء است و خضوع ** حق آن کس که بدو دارم رجوع‌‌
  • They are from (inspired by) love and sincerity and humbleness, (I swear) by the truth of that One to whom I turn.
  • گر به پیشت امتحان است این هوس ** امتحان را امتحان کن یک نفس‌‌ 2680
  • If this affection (which I am showing) seems to thee a trial, do thou for one moment put the (supposed) trial (of thee) to the test.
