نیکوان رفتند و سنتها بماند ** وز لئیمان ظلم و لعنتها بماند

The righteous departed and their ways remained, and from the vile there remained (nothing but) injustice and execrations.

تا قیامت هر که جنس آن بدان ** در وجود آید بود رویش بدان‌‌ 745

Until the Resurrection, the face of every congener of those wicked men who comes into existence is turned towards that one (who belongs to his own kind).

رگ رگ است این آب شیرین و آب شور ** در خلایق می‌‌رود تا نفخ صور

Vein by vein is this sweet water and bitter water, flowing in (God's) creatures until the blast of the trumpet (at the Resurrection).

نیکوان را هست میراث از خوش‌‌آب ** آن چه میراث است أورثنا الکتاب‌‌

To the righteous is the inheritance of the sweet water. What is that inheritance? We have caused (those of Our servants whom We have chosen) to inherit the Book.

شد نیاز طالبان ار بنگری ** شعله‌‌ها از گوهر پیغمبری‌‌

If you will consider, the supplications of the seekers (of God) are rays (proceeding) from the substance of prophethood.

شعله‌‌ها با گوهران گردان بود ** شعله آن جانب رود هم کان بود

The rays are circling with the substances (whence they spring): the ray goes (ultimately) in the direction where that (substance) is.

نور روزن گرد خانه می‌‌دود ** ز آنکه خور برجی به برجی می‌‌رود 750

The window-gleam runs round the house, because the sun goes from sign to sign of the zodiac.

هر که را با اختری پیوستگی است ** مر و را با اختر خود هم تگی است‌‌

Any one who has affinity with a star (planet) has a concurrence (of qualities) with his star.

طالعش گر زهره باشد در طرب ** میل کلی دارد و عشق و طلب‌‌

If his ascendant star be Venus, his whole inclination and love and desire is for joy;

ور بود مریخی خون‌‌ریز خو ** جنگ و بهتان و خصومت جوید او

And if he be one born under Mars, one whose nature is to shed blood, he seeks war and malignity and enmity.
