  • کودکان را می‌بری مکتب به زور ** زانک هستند از فواید چشم‌کور 4585
  • You take children to school by force, because they are blind to the benefits (of knowledge);

  • چون شود واقف به مکتب می‌دود ** جانش از رفتن شکفته می‌شود
  • (But) when he (the child) becomes aware (of the benefits), he runs to school: his soul expands (with joy) at going.

  • می‌رود کودک به مکتب پیچ پیچ ** چون ندید از مزد کار خویش هیچ
  • A child goes to school in sore distress because he has seen nothing of the wages for his work;

  • چون کند در کیسه دانگی دست‌مزد ** آنگهان بی‌خواب گردد شب چو دزد
  • When he puts in his purse a single dáng earned by his handiwork, then he goes without sleep at night, like the thief.

  • جهد کن تا مزد طاعت در رسد ** بر مطیعان آنگهت آید حسد
  • Endeavour that the wages for obedience (to God) may arrive: then you will envy the obedient.

  • ائتیا کرها مقلد گشته را ** ائتیا طوعا صفا بسرشته را 4590
  • (The command) come against your will is for him that has become a blind follower (of religion); come willingly is for him that is moulded of sincerity.

  • این محب حق ز بهر علتی ** و آن دگر را بی غرض خود خلتی
  • The former loves God for the sake of some (secondary) cause, while the other hath indeed a pure disinterested love.

  • این محب دایه لیک از بهر شیر ** و آن دگر دل داده بهر این ستیر
  • The former loves the Nurse, but for the sake of the milk, while the other has given his heart for the sake of this Veiled One.

  • طفل را از حسن او آگاه نه ** غیر شیر او را ازو دلخواه نه
  • The child (the blind follower) hath no knowledge of Her beauty: he hath no desire of Her in his heart except for milk,

  • و آن دگر خود عاشق دایه بود ** بی غرض در عشق یک‌رایه بود
  • While the other is, truly, the lover of the Nurse: he is disinterested, single-minded in (passionate) love.
