  • بی تکلف نه پی مزد و ثواب ** بلک طبع او چنین شد مستطاب

  • زندگی خود نخواهد بهر خوذ ** نه پی ذوقی حیات مستلذ

  • ترک کفرش هم برای حق بود ** نه ز بیم آنک در آتش رود
  • His abandonment of infidelity is also for God's sake, not for fear lest he go into the Fire.

  • این چنین آمد ز اصل آن خوی او ** نه ریاضت نه بجست و جوی او
