ما برین درگه ملولان نیستیم ** تا ز بعد راه هر جا بیستیم

دل فرو بسته و ملول آنکس بود ** کز فراق یار در محبس بود

دلبر و مطلوب با ما حاضرست ** در نثار رحمتش جان شاکرست

در دل ما لاله‌زار و گلشنیست ** پیری و پژمردگی را راه نیست 2935
- In our hearts is an anemone-field and rose-garden: there is no way (of entrance) for old age and decay;
-
دایما تر و جوانیم و لطیف ** تازه و شیرین و خندان و ظریف
- We are ever fresh and young and gracious, unfaded and sweet and laughing and debonair.
-
پیش ما صد سال و یکساعت یکیست ** که دراز و کوته از ما منفکیست
- To us a hundred years are the same as a single hour, for long and short (time) is a thing disjoined from us.

آن دراز و کوتهی در جسمهاست ** آن دراز و کوته اندر جان کجاست

سیصد و نه سال آن اصحاب کهف ** پیششان یک روز بی اندوه و لهف

-
چون نباشد روز و شب یا ماه و سال ** کی بود سیری و پیری و ملال
- When there is no day and night and month and year, how should there be satiety and old age and weariness?
