  • نه قضای حق بود کفر و نفاق ** گر بدین راضی شوم باشد شقاق 1365
  • Is not infidelity and hypocrisy the ordainment of God? If I become satisfied with this (infidelity), ’twill be opposition (disobedience to God),

  • The ugliness of the script is not the ugliness of the artist; nay, ’tis an exhibition of the ugly by him.

  • قوت نقاش باشد آنک او ** هم تواند زشت کردن هم نکو
  • The power (skill) of the artist is that he can make both the ugly and the beautiful.”

  • گر کشانم بحث این را من بساز ** تا سال و تا جواب آید دراز
  • If I develop the investigation of this (subject) methodically, so that question and answer become lengthy,
