- ای همه پوسیده در کون و فساد ** جان باقیتان نرویید و نزاد
- If I tell (even) a tittle of those (saintly) notes, the souls will lift up their heads from the tombs.
- گر بگویم شمهای ز آن نغمهها ** جانها سر بر زنند از دخمهها
- Put thine ear close, for that (melody) is not far off, but ’tis not permitted to convey it to thee.
