  • آن که بی‌‌همت چه با همت شده ** و آن که با همت چه با نعمت شده‌‌

  • Showing that, as the beggar is in love with bounty and in love with the bountiful giver, so the bounty of the bountiful giver is in love with the beggar: if the beggar have the greater patience, the bountiful giver will come to his door; and if the bountiful giver have the greater patience, the beggar will come to his door; but the beggar's patience is a virtue in the beggar, while the patience of the bountiful giver is in him a defect.
  • در بیان آن که چنان که گدا عاشق کرم است و عاشق کریم، کرم کریم هم عاشق گداست اگر گدا را صبر بیش بود کریم بر در او آید و اگر کریم را صبر بیش بود گدا بر در او آید اما صبر گدا کمال گداست و صبر کریم نقصان اوست‌‌

  • The face of the fair is made beautiful by the mirror, the face of Beneficence is made visible by the beggar.
  • روی خوبان ز آینه زیبا شود ** روی احسان از گدا پیدا شود
