می‌کنم لا حول نه از گفت خویش ** بلک از وسواس آن اندیشه کیش765
I am crying “lá hawl,” not on account of my own words, nay, but on account of the false suggestions of the person accustomed to think (evil),
کو خیالی می‌کند در گفت من ** در دل از وسواس و انکارات ظن
Who is conceiving in his heart a vain fancy about my words, (a fancy arising) from the false suggestions and incredulities of (evil) thought.
می‌کنم لا حول یعنی چاره نیست ** چون ترا در دل بضدم گفتنیست
I am crying “lá hawl,” that is, “there is no help,” because in your heart there is a contradiction of me.
چونک گفت من گرفتت در گلو ** من خمش کردم تو آن خود بگو
Since my words have stuck in your throat, I am silent: do you speak your own (words).
آن یکی نایی خوش نی می‌زدست ** ناگهان از مقعدش بادی بجست

نای را بر کون نهاد او که ز من ** گر تو بهتر می‌زنی بستان بزن770

ای مسلمان خود ادب اندر طلب ** نیست الا حمل از هر بی‌ادب
O Musalmán, (whilst you are still engaged) in the quest, good manners are indeed nothing but forbearance with every one that is unmannerly.
هر که را بینی شکایت می‌کند ** که فلان کس راست طبع و خوی بد
When you see any one complaining of such and such a person's ill-nature and bad temper,
این شکایت‌گر بدان که بدخو است ** که مر آن بدخوی را او بدگو است
Know that the complainant is bad-tempered, forasmuch as he speaks ill of that bad-tempered person,
زانک خوش‌خو آن بود کو در خمول ** باشد از بدخو و بدطبعان حمول
