  • تا برو آه حسودان کم وزد ** تا خیالش را به دندان کم گزد
  • To the end that the sighs of the envious may not blow upon him, and that he (the envier) may not bite the (false) idea of him (Husámu’ddín) with the teeth (of malice).
  • خود خیالش را کجا یابد حسود ** در وثاق موش طوطی کی غنود
  • Where should the envious man find even the idea of him? When did a parrot rest in the abode of a mouse?
  • آن خیال او بود از احتیال ** موی ابروی ویست آن نه هلال 2120
  • That idea of him (Husámu’ddín) arises (in the mind of the envious man) from cunning practice (on his part): it is the hair of his eyebrow, not the new moon.
  • مدح تو گویم برون از پنج و هفت ** بر نویس اکنون دقوقی پیش رفت
  • I sing thy praise outside of the five (senses) and the seven (heavens). Now write “Daqúqí went forward.”

  • مدحها شد جملگی آمیخته ** کوزه‌ها در یک لگن در ریخته

  • Inasmuch as the object of praise Himself is not more than One, from this point of view (all) religions are but one religion.

  • همچو نوری تافته بر حایطی ** حایط آن انوار را چون رابطی
  • The Light of God in relation to phenomena is as a light shining upon a wall—the wall is a link (focus) for these splendours:
  • لاجرم چون سایه سوی اصل راند ** ضال مه گم کرد و ز استایش بماند
  • Necessarily, when the reflexion moved towards its source, he who had gone astray lost the moon and ceased from praise;
  • یا ز چاهی عکس ماهی وا نمود ** سر بچه در کرد و آن را می‌ستود
  • Or (again) a reflexion of the moon appeared from a well, and he (the misguided one) put his head into the well and was praising that same (reflexion):
  • در حقیقت مادح ماهست او ** گرچه جهل او بعکسش کرد رو 2130
  • In truth he is a praiser of the moon, although his ignorance has turned its face towards its (the moon's) reflexion.
  • مدح او مه‌راست نه آن عکس را ** کفر شد آن چون غلط شد ماجرا
  • His praise belongs to the moon, not to that reflexion, (but) that (praise) becomes infidelity when the matter is misapprehended;
  • کز شقاوت گشت گم‌ره آن دلیر ** مه به بالا بود و او پنداشت زیر
  • For that bold man was led astray by (his) perdition: the moon was above, while he fancied it was below.
  • زین بتان خلقان پریشان می‌شوند ** شهوت رانده پشیمان می‌شوند
  • The people are distracted by these idols (objects of desire), and (afterwards) they repent of the lust which they have indulged,
  • زآنک شهوت با خیالی رانده است ** وز حقیقت دورتر وا مانده است
  • Because he (such a one) has indulged his lust with a phantom and has remained farther away from the Reality (than he was before).
  • با خیالی میل تو چون پر بود ** تا بدان پر بر حقیقت بر شود 2135
  • Your desire for a phantom is like a wing, so that by means of that wing he (the seeker) may ascend to the Reality.
  • چون براندی شهوتی پرت بریخت ** لنگ گشتی و آن خیال از تو گریخت
  • When you have indulged a lust, your wing drops off; you become lame, and that phantom flees from you.
