  • Delight in devotion became a river of honey; behold your (spiritual) intoxication and longing as a river of wine.

  • چون به امر تست اینجا این صفات ** پس در امر تست آنجا آن جزات 3470
  • Since these qualities are (obedient) to your command here, so your recompense is at your command there.

  • چون ز دستت زخم بر مظلوم رست ** آن درختی گشت ازو زقوم رست

  • Your promise, “To-morrow” and “the day after to-morrow,” has become your waiting on the Day of Congregation: alas for you!

  • منتظر مانی در آن روز دراز ** در حساب و آفتاب جان‌گداز
  • You will remain waiting on that long Day, (engaged) in rendering an account (of your actions) and (standing) in the soul-consuming sun,

  • کسمان را منتظر می‌داشتی ** تخم فردا ره روم می‌کاشتی
  • Because you were wont to keep Heaven waiting and sow the seed of “I will go on the Way to-morrow.”

  • خشم تو تخم سعیر دوزخست ** هین بکش این دوزخت را کین فخست 3480
  • Your anger is the seed of Hell-fire: take heed, extinguish this Hell of yours, for this is a trap.

  • کشتن این نار نبود جز به نور ** نورک اطفا نارنا نحن الشکور
  • The extinction of this fire is not (to be effected) save by the Light: “thy light hath put out our fire, we are the grateful.”

  • گر تو بی نوری کنی حلمی بدست ** آتشت زنده‌ست و در خاکسترست
  • If you are devoid of the Light and do an act of clemency, ’tis evil: your fire (of anger) is (still) alive and is (still lurking) in the embers.

  • آن تکلف باشد و روپوش هین ** نار را نکشد به غیر نور دین
  • Beware! That (clemency) is (mere) ostentation and masking (the truth): nothing will extinguish the fire (of anger) except the Light of Religion.
