  • I will bestow on him here (and now) twenty times as many kingdoms as he has relinquished, and myself into the bargain.”
  • گفت تا شاهیت در وی عشق کاشت  ** جز هوای تو هوایی کی گذاشت

  • میل سوی خرقه‌ی داده و ندم  ** آنچنان باشد که من مغبون شدم

  • باز ده آن خرقه این سو ای قرین  ** که نمی‌ارزید آن یعنی بدین 
  • Put the mantle back here, O comrade, for that (ecstasy) was not worth it, that is, (not worth) this (mantle).’
