چون برست از عشق پر بر آسمان ** چون نروید در دل صدر جهان

موج می‌زد در دلش عفو گنه ** که ز هر دل تا دل آمد روزنه 4390

که ز دل تا دل یقین روزن بود ** نه جدا و دور چون دو تن بود

هیچ عاشق خود نباشد وصل‌جو ** که نه معشوقش بود جویای او
- No lover, in sooth, is seeking union without his loved one seeking him;

لیک عشق عاشقان تن زه کند ** عشق معشوقان خوش و فربه کند
- But the love of lovers makes the body (thin as) a bowstring, (while) the love of loved ones makes it comely and fat.

تشنه می‌نالد که ای آب گوار ** آب هم نالد که کو آن آب‌خوار
