  • کسمان را منتظر می‌داشتی ** تخم فردا ره روم می‌کاشتی

  • کشتن این نار نبود جز به نور ** نورک اطفا نارنا نحن الشکور
  • The extinction of this fire is not (to be effected) save by the Light: “thy light hath put out our fire, we are the grateful.”

  • گر تو بی نوری کنی حلمی بدست ** آتشت زنده‌ست و در خاکسترست
  • If you are devoid of the Light and do an act of clemency, ’tis evil: your fire (of anger) is (still) alive and is (still lurking) in the embers.

  • آن تکلف باشد و روپوش هین ** نار را نکشد به غیر نور دین

  • مرغ خاکی مرغ آبی هم‌تنند ** لیک ضدانند آب و روغنند
  • The land-bird and the water-bird have the same body (outward appearance), but they are (really) opposites: they are (like) water and oil.
