  • صوفیی بر میخ روزی سفره دید ** چرخ می‌زد جامه‌ها را می‌درید
  • One day a Súfí espied a food-wallet (hanging) on a nail: he began to whirl and rend his garments,

  • بانگ می‌زد نک نوای بی‌نوا ** قحطها و دردها را نک دوا 3015
  • Crying, “Lo, the food of the foodless! Lo, the remedy for famines and pangs (of hunger)!”

  • چونک دود و شور او بسیار شد ** هر که صوفی بود با او یار شد
  • When his smoke and tumult (his ecstasy) waxed great, every one that was a Súfí joined him (imitated his behaviour).

  • کخ‌کخی و های و هویی می‌زدند ** تای چندی مست و بی‌خود می‌شدند

  • بوالفضولی گفت صوفی را که چیست ** سفره‌ای آویخته وز نان تهیست
  • An idle busybody said to the Súfí, “What is the matter? (Only) a food-wallet hung (on a nail), and it is empty of bread!”

  • گفت رو رو نقش بی‌معنیستی ** تو بجو هستی که عاشق نیستی
  • He (the Súfí) said, “Begone, begone! Thou art a (mere) form without spirit: do thou seek existence (not non-existence), for thou art no lover.”

  • عشق نان بی نان غذای عاشق است ** بند هستی نیست هر کو صادقست 3020
