آنچ گل را گفت حق خندانش کرد ** با دل من گفت و صد چندانش کرد

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh (in full-blown beauty), He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more (beautiful).

آنچ زد بر سرو و قدش راست کرد ** و آنچ از وی نرگس و نسرین بخورد 4130

(He bestowed on my heart) that which touched the cypress and made its stature straight, and that of which the narcissus and wild-rose partook;

آنچ نی را کرد شیرین جان و دل ** و آنچ خاکی یافت ازو نقش چگل

That which made sweet the soul and heart of the sugar-cane, and that from which the creature of earth gained the form of Chigil;

آنچ ابرو را چنان طرار ساخت ** چهره را گلگونه و گلنار ساخت

That which made the eyebrow so ravishing and made the face rose-coloured and (like) the pomegranate-flower;

مر زبان را داد صد افسون‌گری ** وانک کان را داد زر جعفری

(That which) gave a hundred enchantments to the tongue, and that which gave the (pure) gold of Ja‘far to the mine.

چون در زرادخانه باز شد ** غمزه‌های چشم تیرانداز شد

When the door of the Armoury was opened, the amorous glances became archers,

بر دلم زد تیر و سوداییم کرد ** عاشق شکر و شکرخاییم کرد 4135

And shot arrows at my heart and frenzied me and made me in love with thanksgiving and sugar-chewing.

عاشق آنم که هر آن آن اوست ** عقل و جان جاندار یک مرجان اوست

I am the lover of that One to whom every ‘that’ belongs: of (even) a single pearl of His the bodyguard is Intellect and Spirit.

من نلافم ور بلافم همچو آب ** نیست در آتش‌کشی‌ام اضطراب

I do not boast, or if I boast, (’tis only in appearance, for) like water, I have no trouble in quenching fire.

چون بدزدم چون حفیظ مخزن اوست ** چون نباشم سخت‌رو پشت من اوست

How should I steal when He is the keeper of the treasury? How should not I be hard-faced (bold and resolute)? He is my support.
