  • نان چو معنی بود خوردش سود بود ** چون که صورت گشت انگیزد جحود
  • When the bread was spirit, it was beneficial; since it became form, it rouses disbelief.

  • همچو خار سبز کاشتر می‌‌خورد ** ز ان خورش صد نفع و لذت می‌‌برد
  • As (for example) the green thistles which a camel eats, and gains from eating them a hundred benefits and pleasures:

  • چون که آن سبزیش رفت و خشک گشت ** چون همان را می‌‌خورد اشتر ز دشت‌‌ 3995
  • When the camel from the desert eats those same thistles, after their greenness is gone and they have become dry,

  • می‌‌دراند کام و لنجش ای دریغ ** کان چنان ورد مربی گشت تیغ‌‌
  • They rend his palate and cheek— oh, alas that such a well-nourished rose became a sword!

  • نان چو معنی بود بود آن خار سبز ** چون که صورت شد کنون خشک است و گبز
  • When the bread was spirit, it was (like) the green thistles; since it became form, it is now dry and gross.

  • تو بدان عادت که او را پیش از این ** خورده بودی ای وجود نازنین
  • According as thou hadst formerly been in the habit of eating it, O gracious being,

  • بر همان بو می‌‌خوری این خشک را ** بعد از آن کامیخت معنی با ثری‌‌
  • In the same hope thou (still) are eating this dry stuff, after the spirit has become mingled with clay.

  • It has become mixed with earth and dry and flesh-cutting: abstain now from that herbage, O camel!

  • سخت خاک آلود می‌‌آید سخن ** آب تیره شد سر چه بند کن‌‌
  • The words are coming (forth) very earth-soiled; the water has become turbid: stop up the mouth of the well,

  • تا خدایش باز صاف و خوش کند ** او که تیره کرد هم صافش کند
  • That God may again make it pure and sweet, that He who made it turbid may likewise make it pure.
