  • May thy fortune be lasting, O rider! Have pity on lovers and excuse (them).”

  • چون طلب کردی به جد آمد نظر ** جد خطا نکند چنین آمد خبر
  • When you have made search (and your) looking has been in earnest—earnest endeavour does not fail: so the Tradition has come down (from the Prophet)—

  • ناگهان آمد سواری نیک بخت ** پس گرفت اندر کنارت سخت سخت‏
  • Suddenly comes a blessed rider; then he clasps you very closely to his breast.

  • تو شدی بی‏هوش و افتادی به طاق ** بی‏خبر گفت اینت سالوس و نفاق‏
  • You become senseless and fall to vaunting (ecstatically); the ignorant (uninitiated) man says, “Here is fraud and hypocrisy.”

  • او چه می‏بیند در او این شور چیست ** او نداند کان نشان وصل کیست‏ 1700
