  • هر کسی اندازه‌ی روشن‌دلی ** غیب را بیند به قدر صیقلی
  • Every one, according to the measure of his spiritual enlightenment, sees the things unseen in proportion to the polishing (of the heart's mirror).

  • هر که صیقل بیش کرد او بیش دید ** بیشتر آمد برو صورت پدید 2910

  • If you say that that (spiritual) purity is (bestowed by) the grace of God, this success in polishing (the heart) is also (derived) from that (Divine) bounty.

  • قدر همت باشد آن جهد و دعا ** لیس للانسان الا ما سعی
