  • Love is (one) of the attributes of God who wants nothing: love for aught besides Him is unreal,

  • زانک آن حسن زراندود آمدست  ** ظاهرش نور اندرون دود آمدست 
  • Because that (which is besides Him) is (but) a gilded beauty: its outside is (shining) light, (but) ’tis (like dark) smoke within.

  • چون رود نور و شود پیدا دخان  ** بفسرد عشق مجازی آن زمان 
  • When the light goes and the smoke becomes visible, at that moment the unreal love is frozen up.

  • قلب را که زر ز روی او بجست  ** بازگشت آن زر بکان خود نشست 
  • When the gold flies from the surface of the base coin, that gold returns to its (original) mine and settles (there);

  • پس مس رسوا بماند دود وش  ** زو سیه‌روتر بماند عاشقش 
  • Then the shamefully exposed copper is left (looking black) like smoke, and its lover is left looking blacker than it.

  • عشق بینایان بود بر کان زر  ** لاجرم هر روز باشد بیشتر 
  • (But) the love of them that have (spiritual) insight is (fixed) on the gold-mine; necessarily it is (grows) greater every day,

  • زانک کان را در زری نبود شریک  ** مرحبا ای کان زر لاشک فیک  980

  • هر بها که گوید او را می‌خرم  ** در زیان و حیف ظاهر ننگرم 
  • I will buy him at whatever price he (the Jew) may name: I will not regard the apparent loss (of money) and the extortion;

  • کو اسیر الله فی الارض آمدست  ** سخره‌ی خشم عدو الله شدست 
  • For he is God's captive on the earth, and he has become subjected to the anger of God's enemy.”

  • وصیت کردن مصطفی علیه‌السلام صدیق را رضی الله عنه کی چون بلال را مشتری می‌شوی هر آینه ایشان از ستیز بر خواهند در بها فزود و بهای او را خواهند فزودن مرا درین فضیلت شریک خود کن وکیل من باش و نیم بها از من بستان 
  • How Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, enjoined the Siddíq, may God be pleased with him, saying, “Since thou art going to purchase Bilál, they (the Jews) will certainly raise his price by wrangling (with thee): make me thy partner in this merit, be my agent, and receive from me half the purchase-money.”
