  • گر چه صد چون من ندارد تاب بحر ** لیک می‏نشکیبم از غرقاب بحر
  • Though (one equal to) a hundred like me would not have the strength to bear the Sea, yet I cannot refrain from the drowning waters of the Sea.

  • جان و عقل من فدای بحر باد ** خونبهای عقل و جان این بحر داد
  • May my soul and mind be a sacrifice to the Sea: this Sea has paid the blood-price of mind and soul.

  • تا که پایم می‏رود رانم در او ** چون نماند پا چو بطانم در او
  • I will march in It as long as my feet move; when feet remain not, I am (plunged) in It, like ducks.

  • بی‏ادب حاضر ز غایب خوشتر است ** حلقه گر چه کژ بود نه بر در است‏ 1360
  • An unrespectful person present is better than one absent: though the ring be crooked, is it not on the door?

  • ای تن آلوده به گرد حوض گرد ** پاک کی گردد برون حوض مرد
  • O defiled in body, frequent the tank: outside of the tank, how shall a man be cleansed?

  • پاک کاو از حوض مهجور اوفتاد ** او ز پاکی خویش هم دور اوفتاد
  • The pure one who has been banished from the tank becomes far also from his purity.

  • پاکی این حوض بی‏پایان بود ** پاکی اجسام کم میزان بود
  • The purity of this tank is infinite; the purity of bodies is of little weight,

  • ز انکه دل حوض است لیکن در کمین ** سوی دریا راه پنهان دارد این‏
  • Because the heart (though it) is a tank, yet in ambush (out of sight) it has a hidden channel to the Sea.

  • پاکی محدود تو خواهد مدد ** ور نه اندر خرج کم گردد عدد 1365
  • Your finite purity wants reinforcement; otherwise, number is diminished in (the course of) expenditure.

  • آب گفت آلوده را در من شتاب ** گفت آلوده که دارم شرم از آب‏
  • The water said to the defiled one, “Hasten (to come) into me.” The defiled one said, “I feel shame before the water.”
