  • تلخ و شیرین زین نظر ناید پدید ** از دریچه‌‌ی عاقبت دانند دید
  • The bitter and the sweet are not visible to this (ocular) sight, (but) they can be seen through the window of the latter end.

  • چشم آخر بین تواند دید راست ** چشم آخر بین غرور است و خطاست‌‌
  • The eye that sees the end (ákhir) can see truly; the eye that sees (only) the stable (ákhur) is delusion and error.

  • ای بسا شیرین که چون شکر بود ** لیک زهر اندر شکر مضمر بود

  • آن که زیرک‌‌تر به بو بشناسدش ** و آن دگر چون بر لب و دندان زدش‌‌ 2585
  • He that is more sagacious (than the rest) will know it by the smell; another (only) when it touches his lips and teeth:

  • و آن دگر را در حدث سوزش دهد ** ذوق آن زخم جگر دوزش دهد
  • And to another it will give burning pain in evacuation: its taste will deal him a blow that pierces his liver.

  • و آن دگر را بعد ایام و شهور ** و آن دگر را بعد مرگ از قعر گور
  • And to another (it will become manifest) after days and months; and to another after death, from the depth of the grave;

  • ور دهندش مهلت اندر قعر گور ** لا بد آن پیدا شود یوم النشور 2590
  • And if he be given a respite in the depth of the grave, (then) it will inevitably become manifest on the Day of Resurrection.

  • هر نبات و شکری را در جهان ** مهلتی پیداست از دور زمان‌‌
  • Every piece of candy and sugar (desirable thing) in the world manifestly has a period granted to it from the revolution of Time.
