- 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

- گوش را نزدیک کن کان دور نیست ** لیک نقل آن به تو دستور نیست
- Hark! for the saints are the Isráfíls of the (present) time: from them to the dead comes life and freshness. 1930
- هین که اسرافیل وقت‌‌اند اولیا ** مرده را ز یشان حیات است و حیا
- At their voice the soul of every dead one starts up from the body's grave in their winding sheets.
- جان هر یک مرده‌‌ای از گور تن ** بر جهد ز آوازشان اندر کفن

- گوید این آواز ز آوازها جداست ** زنده کردن کار آواز خداست
- We (had) died and were entirely decayed: the call of God came: we all arose.”
- ما بمردیم و بکلی کاستیم ** بانگ حق آمد همه برخاستیم
- The call of God, (whether it be) veiled or unveiled, bestows that which He bestowed on Mary from His bosom.
- بانگ حق اندر حجاب و بی‌‌حجاب ** آن دهد کو داد مریم را ز جیب

- ای فناتان نیست کرده زیر پوست ** باز گردید از عدم ز آواز دوست
- Absolutely, indeed, that voice is from the King (God), though it be from the larynx of God's servant.
- مطلق آن آواز خود از شه بود ** گر چه از حلقوم عبد الله بود
