  • گرچه همرنگ مهست و دولتیست  ** اندر ابر آن نور مه عاریتیست  695
  • Although it is of the same colour as the Moon and is associated with (the Moon's) empire, (yet) in the cloud the light of the Moon is (only) borrowed (impermanent).

  • در قیامت شمس و مه معزول شد  ** چشم در اصل ضیا مشغول شد 
  • At the Resurrection the sun and moon are discharged (from their office): the eye is occupied in (contemplating) the Source of (their) radiance,

  • تا بداند ملک را از مستعار  ** وین رباط فانی از دارالقرار 
  • In order that it may know (distinguish) the (permanent) possession from the (temporary) loan, and this perishable caravanseray from the everlasting abode.

  • دایه عاریه بود روزی سه چار  ** مادرا ما را تو گیر اندر کنار 
  • The nurse is borrowed for three or four days: do thou, O Mother, take us into thy bosom!

  • پر من ابرست و پرده‌ست و کثیف  ** ز انعکاس لطف حق شد او لطیف 
  • My feathers are (like) the cloud and are a veil and gross: (only) by the reflexion of God's loveliness are they made lovely.

  • بر کنم پر را و حسنش را ز راه  ** تا ببینم حسن مه را هم ز ماه  700
  • I will pluck my feathers and their beauty from the Way (to God), that I may behold the Moon's beauty (by immediate illumination) from the Moon.

  • من نخواهم دایه مادر خوشترست  ** موسی‌ام من دایه‌ی من مادرست 
  • I do not want the nurse; (my) Mother is fairer. I am (like) Moses: (my) Mother (herself) is my nurse.

  • من نخواهم لطف مه از واسطه  ** که هلاک قوم شد این رابطه 
  • I do not want (to enjoy) the loveliness of the Moon through an intermediary, for this link is perdition to the people;

  • یا مگر ابری شود فانی راه  ** تا نگردد او حجاب روی ماه 
  • Unless (the intermediary be) a cloud (that) becomes naughted in the Way (to God) in order that it may not be a veil to the face of the Moon.

  • صورتش بنماید او در وصف لا  ** هم‌چو جسم انبیا و اولیا 
  • In the aspect of lá (self-negation) it (such a cloud) displays His (the Moon's) form, like the bodies of the prophets and saints.
