خوی بد در ذات تو اصلی نبود ** کز بد اصلی نیاید جز جحود
The evil disposition was not original (innate) in thy person; for from original evil comes naught but denial.
آن بد عاریتی باشد که او ** آرد اقرار و شود او توبه‌جو
The borrowed (temporary) evil is such that he (in whom it appears) makes confession and desires to repent;
هم‌چو آدم زلتش عاریه بود ** لاجرم اندر زمان توبه نمود
Like Adam, whose lapse was temporary: of necessity he showed penitence at once.
چونک اصلی بود جرم آن بلیس ** ره نبودش جانب توبه‌ی نفیس3415
Since the sin of Iblís was original, for him there was no way to precious penitence.

Go, for thou art delivered from thyself and from the evil disposition and from the (flaming) tongue of the Fire and from the teeth of the wild beasts (of Hell).
رو که اکنون دست در دولت زدی ** در فکندی خود به بخت سرمدی
Go, for now thou hast grasped felicity, thou hast thrown thyself into everlasting fortune.
ادخلی تو فی عبادی یافتی ** ادخلی فی جنتی در بافتی

در عبادش راه کردی خویش را ** رفتی اندر خلد از راه خفا
Thou hast made a way for thyself (to enter) amongst His servants; thou hast gone into Eden by the secret way.
اهدنا گفتی صراط مستقیم ** دست تو بگرفت و بردت تا نعیم3420

نار بودی نور گشتی ای عزیز ** غوره بودی گشتی انگور و مویز
