- این سبوی آب را بردار و رو ** هدیه ساز و پیش شاهنشاه شو
- Say, ‘We have no means except this: in the desert there is nothing better than this water.’
- گو که ما را غیر این اسباب نیست ** در مفازه هیچ به زین آب نیست

- (’Tis) a jug with five spouts, the five senses: keep this water pure (and safe) from every filth, 2710
- کوزه‌‌ای با پنج لوله‌‌ی پنج حس ** پاک دار این آب را از هر نجس
- That there may be from this jug a passage to the sea, and that my jug may assume the nature of the sea,

- تا چو هدیه پیش سلطانش بری ** پاک بیند باشدش شه مشتری
- (And) after that, its water will become without end: a hundred worlds will be filled from my jug.
- بی‌‌نهایت گردد آبش بعد از آن ** پر شود از کوزه‌‌ی من صد جهان
- Stop up its spouts and keep it filled (with water) from the jar (of Reality): God said, “Close your eyes to vain desire.”
- لوله‌‌ها بر بند و پر دارش ز خم ** گفت غضوا عن هوا ابصارکم
