  • گر تو بی نوری کنی حلمی بدست ** آتشت زنده‌ست و در خاکسترست

  • 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.

  • 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
