من سپند از چشم بد کردم پدید ** در سپندم نیز چشم بد رسید
I produced rue (to burn as a charm) against the evil eye; (but) the evil eye reached even my rue.
دافع هر چشم بد از پیش و پس ** چشم‌های پر خمار تست و بس 2805
(’Tis) only Thy languishing eyes (that) are able to avert every evil eye (whether) in front or behind.
چشم بد را چشم نیکویت شها ** مات و مستاصل کند نعم الدوا
Thy good eye, O King, defeats and extirpates the evil eye: how excellent it is as a remedy!
بل ز چشمت کیمیاها می‌رسد ** چشم بد را چشم نیکو می‌کند
Nay, from Thine eye come (wondrous) alchemies (transmutations): they turn the evil eye into the good eye.
چشم شه بر چشم باز دل زدست ** چشم بازش سخت با همت شدست
The King's eye hath smitten the eye of the falcon-heart, and its falcon-eye hath become mightily aspiring,
تا ز بس همت که یابید از نظر ** می‌نگیرد باز شه جز شیر نر
So that, because of the great aspiration which it has gained from the (King's) look, the royal falcon will (now) catch (hunt) nothing but the fierce lion.
شیر چه کان شاه‌باز معنوی ** هم شکار تست و هم صیدش توی 2810
What (of the) lion? The spiritual royal falcon is Thy quarry and at the same time Thou art its prey.
شد صفیر باز جان در مرج دین ** نعره‌های لا احب الافلین
The call uttered by the falcon-soul in the meadow of devotion is cries of “I love not them that set.”
باز دل را که پی تو می‌پرید ** از عطای بی‌حدت چشمی رسید
From Thy infinite bounty there came an (inward) eye to the falcon-soul that was flying for Thy sake.
یافت بینی بوی و گوش از تو سماع ** هر حسی را قسمتی آمد مشاع
From Thee its nose gained (the inward sense of) smell, and its ear the (inward) hearing: to each sense was allotted a portion (of the spiritual sense that was) distributed (amongst them all).
