- With thy face I was free from trouble, and in thy river I was unsoiled by froth. 1710
- از کبد فارغ بدم با روی تو ** وز زبد صافی بدم در جوی تو
- These cries of ‘Alas’ are (caused by) the phantasy (idea) of seeing (the Beloved) and (by) separation from my present existence.
- این دریغاها خیال دیدن است ** وز وجود نقد خود ببریدن است
- ’Twas the jealousy of God, and there is no device against God: where is a heart that is not (shattered) in a hundred pieces by God's love?
- غیرت حق بود و با حق چاره نیست ** کو دلی کز حکم حق صد پاره نیست
- The jealousy (of God) is this, that He is other than all things, that He is beyond explanation and the noise of words.
- غیرت آن باشد که او غیر همه ست ** آن که افزون از بیان و دمدمه ست
- Oh, alas! Would that my tears were an ocean, that they might be strewn as an offering to the fair charmer!
- ای دریغا اشک من دریا بدی ** تا نثار دل بر زیبا بدی
- My parrot, my clever-headed bird, the interpreter of my thought and inmost consciousness, 1715
- طوطی من مرغ زیرکسار من ** ترجمان فکرت و اسرار من
- She has told me from the first, that I might remember it, whatsoever should come to me as my allotted portion of right and wrong.”
- هر چه روزی داد و ناداد آیدم ** او ز اول گفته تا یاد آیدم
- The parrot whose voice comes from (Divine) inspiration and whose beginning was before the beginning of existence—
- طوطیی کاید ز وحی آواز او ** پیش از آغاز وجود آغاز او
- That parrot is hidden within thee: thou hast seen the reflexion of her upon this and that (the things of the phenomenal world).
- اندرون تست آن طوطی نهان ** عکس او را دیده تو بر این و آن
- She takes away thy joy, and because of her thou art rejoicing: thou receivest injury from her as though it were justice.
- می‌‌برد شادیت را تو شاد از او ** می‌‌پذیری ظلم را چون داد از او
