چون که تو ینظر بنار الله بدی ** در بدی از نیکویی غافل شدی‌‌

Inasmuch as you were seeing by the Fire of God, in (your) badness you became forgetful of goodness.

اندک اندک آب بر آتش بزن ** تا شود نار تو نور ای بو الحزن‌‌

Little by little throw water on the fire, that your fire may become light, O man of sorrow!

تو بزن یا ربنا آب طهور ** تا شود این نار عالم جمله نور

Throw Thou, O Lord, the purifying water, that this world-fire may become wholly light.

آب دریا جمله در فرمان تست ** آب و آتش ای خداوند آن تست‌‌ 1335

All the water of the sea is under Thy command; water and fire, O Lord, are Thine.

گر تو خواهی آتش آب خوش شود ** ور نخواهی آب هم آتش شود

If Thou willest, fire becomes sweet water; and if Thou willest not, even water becomes fire.

این طلب در ما هم از ایجاد تست ** رستن از بی‌‌داد یا رب داد تست‌‌

This search (aspiration) in us is also brought into existence by Thee; deliverance from iniquity is Thy gift, O Lord.

بی‌‌طلب تو این طلب‌‌مان داده‌‌ای ** گنج احسان بر همه بگشاده‌‌ای‌‌

Without (our) seeking Thou hast given us this search, Thou hast opened to all the treasure of (Thy) beneficence.

مژده بردن خرگوش سوی نخجیران که شیر در چاه افتاد

Having seen the lion miserably slain in the well, he was skipping joyously all the way to the meadow,

دست می‌‌زد چون رهید از دست مرگ ** سبز و رقصان در هوا چون شاخ و برگ‌‌

Clapping his hands because he had escaped from the hand of Death; fresh and dancing in the air, like bough and leaf.
