  • کشتن این نار نبود جز به نور ** نورک اطفا نارنا نحن الشکور
  • The extinction of this fire is not (to be effected) save by the Light: “thy light hath put out our fire, we are the grateful.”

  • گر تو بی نوری کنی حلمی بدست ** آتشت زنده‌ست و در خاکسترست
  • If you are devoid of the Light and do an act of clemency, ’tis evil: your fire (of anger) is (still) alive and is (still lurking) in the embers.

  • آن تکلف باشد و روپوش هین ** نار را نکشد به غیر نور دین
  • Beware! That (clemency) is (mere) ostentation and masking (the truth): nothing will extinguish the fire (of anger) except the Light of Religion.

  • تا نبینی نور دین آمن مباش ** کاتش پنهان شود یک روز فاش
  • Do not be secure till you behold the Light of Religion, for the hidden fire will one day become manifest.

  • نور آبی دان و هم در آب چفس ** چونک داری آب از آتش مترس 3485
  • Deem the Light to be a water, and cleave to the water withal: when you have the water, be not afraid of the fire.

  • آب آتش را کشد کتش بخو ** می‌بسوزد نسل و فرزندان او
  • The water will extinguish the fire, because the fire by its nature burns up its (the water's) progeny and children.

  • سوی آن مرغابیان رو روز چند ** تا ترا در آب حیوانی کشند
  • Go, for a while, to those water-birds, that they may lead you to the Water of Life.

  • مرغ خاکی مرغ آبی هم‌تنند ** لیک ضدانند آب و روغنند
  • The land-bird and the water-bird have the same body (outward appearance), but they are (really) opposites: they are (like) water and oil.

  • هر یکی مر اصل خود را بنده‌اند ** احتیاطی کن بهم ماننده‌اند
  • Each (of them) is devoted to its own origin; have a care (in discriminating between them): they resemble each other (externally),

  • همچنانک وسوسه و وحی الست ** هر دو معقولند لیکن فرق هست 3490
  • Just as both (Satanic) suggestion and Divine inspiration are intelligible, and yet there is a (great) difference (between them).
