  • تو روا داری روا باشد که حق  ** هم‌چو معزول آید از حکم سبق 
  • Do you deem it allowable, can it be allowable, that on account of the (eternally) prior decree God should come, like a person dismissed from office,

  • که ز دست من برون رفتست کار  ** پیش من چندین میا چندین مزار 
  • Saying, ‘The affair has gone out of My hands: do not approach Me so often, do not entreat (Me) so much’?

  • بلک معنی آن بود جف القلم  ** نیست یکسان پیش من عدل و ستم 
  • Nay, the meaning is: ‘the Pen has dried (on this that) justice and injustice are not equal in My sight.

  • فرق بنهادم میان خیر و شر  ** فرق بنهادم ز بد هم از بتر 
  • I have laid down a distinction between good and evil; I have also laid down a distinction between the bad and the worse.’

  • ذره‌ای گر در تو افزونی ادب  ** باشد از یارت بداند فضل رب  3140
  • If there be in you a single mote of self-discipline in excess of (that of) your companion, the grace of God will know,

  • قدر آن ذره ترا افزون دهد  ** ذره چون کوهی قدم بیرون نهد 
  • And will bestow on you that mote's amount of superiority: the mote will step forth as (big as) a mountain (to meet you).

  • پادشاهی که به پیش تخت او  ** فرق نبود از امین و ظلم‌جو 
  • A king before whose throne there is no distinction between the faithful (friend) and the seeker of iniquity—

  • آنک می‌لرزد ز بیم رد او  ** وانک طعنه می‌زند در جد او 
  • Between him who trembles in fear of his (the king's) disapproval and him who intrigues against his fortune (empire)—

  • فرق نبود هر دو یک باشد برش  ** شاه نبود خاک تیره بر سرش 
  • (So that) there is no difference, but both of them are one to him: he is not a king, may dark earth be on his head!

  • ذره‌ای گر جهد تو افزون بود  ** در ترازوی خدا موزون بود  3145
  • If your (devotional) labour exceed (that of another) by a single mote, it (that mote) will be weighed in God's balance.
