  • یک دم ار مجنون ز خود غافل بدی ** ناقه گردیدی و واپس آمدی 1535
  • If Majnún forgot himself for one moment, the she-camel would turn and go back.

  • عشق و سودا چونک پر بودش بدن ** می‌نبودش چاره از بی‌خود شدن
  • Since his body was full of love and passion, he had no resource but to become beside himself.

  • آنک او باشد مراقب عقل بود ** عقل را سودای لیلی در ربود
  • That which is regardful was (ever) reason: passion for Laylá carried (his) reason away.

  • لیک ناقه بس مراقب بود و چست ** چون بدیدی او مهار خویش سست
  • But the she-camel was very regardful and alert: whenever she saw her toggle slack

  • فهم کردی زو که غافل گشت و دنگ ** رو سپس کردی به کره بی‌درنگ
  • She would at once perceive that he had become heedless and dazed, and would turn her face back to the foal without delay.

  • چون به خود باز آمدی دیدی ز جا ** کو سپس رفتست بس فرسنگها 1540
  • When he came to himself again, he would see on the spot that she had gone back many leagues.

  • در سه روزه ره بدین احوالها ** ماند مجنون در تردد سالها
  • In these conditions Majnún remained going to and fro for years on a three days' journey.

  • گفت ای ناقه چو هر دو عاشقیم ** ما دو ضد پس همره نالایقیم
  • He said, “O camel, since we both are lovers, therefore we two contraries are unsuitable fellow-travellers.

  • نیستت بر وفق من مهر و مهار ** کرد باید از تو صحبت اختیار
  • Thy affection and toggle (propensity) are not in accord with me: it behoves (me) to choose parting from thy companionship.”

  • این دو همره یکدگر را راه‌زن ** گمره آن جان کو فرو ناید ز تن
  • These two fellow-travellers (the reason and the flesh) are brigands waylaying each other: lost is the spirit that does not dismount from the body.
