چون که در بد نامی آمد ریش او ** دیو را ننگ آید از تفتیش او

As soon as he has grown a beard in infamy, the Devil is ashamed to search after him.

دیو سوی آدمی شد بهر شر ** سوی تو ناید که از دیوی بتر

The Devil approaches Man for the sake of wickedness: he does not approach you because you are worse than the Devil.

تا تو بودی آدمی دیو از پی‌‌ات ** می‌‌دوید و می‌‌چشانید او می‌‌ات‌‌ 1875

So long as you were a man the Devil was running at your heels and bidding you taste (his) wine.

چون شدی در خوی دیوی استوار ** می‌‌گریزد از تو دیو نابکار

Since you have become confirmed in devilry, the good-for-nothing Devil is fleeing from you!

آن که اندر دامنت آویخت او ** چون چنین گشتی ز تو بگریخت او

He who (formerly) clung to your skirt fled from you when you became like this.
