می‌‌برد شادیت را تو شاد از او ** می‌‌پذیری ظلم را چون داد از او

She takes away thy joy, and because of her thou art rejoicing: thou receivest injury from her as though it were justice.

ای که جان را بهر تن می‌‌سوختی ** سوختی جان را و تن افروختی‌‌ 1720

O thou who wert burning the soul for the body's sake, thou hast burned (destroyed) the soul and illumined (delighted) the body.

سوختم من سوخته خواهد کسی ** تا ز من آتش زند اندر خسی‌‌

I am burning (with love of God): does any one want tinder, let him set his rubbish ablaze with fire from me.

سوخته چون قابل آتش بود ** سوخته بستان که آتش کش بود

Inasmuch as tinder is combustible, take tinder that catches fire (readily).

ای دریغا ای دریغا ای دریغ ** کانچنان ماهی نهان شد زیر میغ‌‌

O alas, O alas, O alas that such a moon became hidden under the clouds!

چون زنم دم کاتش دل تیز شد ** شیر هجر آشفته و خون ریز شد

How should I utter a word?—for the fire in my heart is grown fierce, the lion of separation (from the Beloved) has become raging and blood-shedding.

آن که او هوشیار خود تند است و مست ** چون بود چون او قدح گیرد به دست‌‌ 1725

One that even when sober is violent and furious, how will it be when he takes the wine-cup in his hand?

شیر مستی کز صفت بیرون بود ** از بسیط مرغزار افزون بود

The furious Lion who is beyond description is too great for (cannot be contained in) the wide expanse of the meadow.

قافیه اندیشم و دل دار من ** گویدم مندیش جز دیدار من‌‌

I am thinking of rhymes, and my Sweetheart says to me, “Do not think of aught except vision of Me.

خوش نشین ای قافیه اندیش من ** قافیه‌‌ی دولت تویی در پیش من‌‌

Sit at thy ease, My rhyme-meditating (friend): in My presence thou art rhymed with (attached to) felicity.
