1250-1259

  • صد سخن می‌گفت زان درد کهن  ** در شکایت که نگفتم یک سخن  1250
  • He (the lover), from that ancient grief, was speaking a hundred words in complaint, saying, “I have not spoken a word.”

  • آتشی بودش نمی‌دانست چیست  ** لیک چون شمع از تف آن می‌گریست 
  • There was a fire in him: he did not know what it was, but on account of its heat he was weeping like a candle.

  • گفت معشوق این همه کردی ولیک  ** گوش بگشا پهن و اندر یاب نیک 
  • The beloved said, “Thou hast done all this, yet open thine ear wide and apprehend well;

  • کانچ اصل اصل عشقست و ولاست  ** آن نکردی اینچ کردی فرعهاست 
  • For thou hast not done what is the root of the root of love and fealty: this that thou hast done is (only) the branches.”

  • گفتش آن عاشق بگو که آن اصل چیست  ** گفت اصلش مردنست ونیستیست 
  • The lover said to her, “Tell me, what is that root?” She said, “The root thereof is to die and be naught.

  • تو همه کردی نمردی زنده‌ای  ** هین بمیر ار یار جان‌بازنده‌ای  1255
  • Thou hast done all (else), (but) thou hast not died, thou art living. Hark, die, if thou art a self-sacrificing friend!”

  • هم در آن دم شد دراز و جان بداد  ** هم‌چو گل درباخت سر خندان و شاد 
  • Instantly he laid himself at full length (on the ground) and gave up the ghost: like the rose, he played away his head (life), laughing and rejoicing.

  • ماند آن خنده برو وقف ابد  ** هم‌چو جان و عقل عارف بی‌کبد 
  • That laughter remained with him as an endowment unto everlasting, like the untroubled spirit and reason of the gnostic.

  • نور مه‌آلوده کی گردد ابد  ** گر زند آن نور بر هر نیک و بد 
  • How should the light of the moon ever become defiled, though its light strike on everything good and evil?

  • او ز جمله پاک وا گردد به ماه  ** هم‌چو نور عقل و جان سوی اله 
  • Pure of all (defilements) it returns to the moon, even as the light of the spirit and reason (returns) unto God.
