- We all are of the flesh and busy with fleshliness: if Thou call us not (to Thyself), we all are Ahrimans (Devils).
- ما همه نفسی و نفسی میزنیم ** گر نخوانی ما همه اهرمنیم
- (If) we have been delivered from Ahriman, (it is only) because Thou hast redeemed our souls from blindness.
- ز آن ز اهرمن رهیدستیم ما ** که خریدی جان ما را از عمی
- Thou art the Guide of every one that hath life: what is the blind man without staff and guide? 3920
- تو عصا کش هر که را که زندگی است ** بیعصا و بیعصا کش کور چیست
- Excepting Thee (alone), whatsoever is sweet or unsweet is man-destroying and the essence of fire.
- غیر تو هر چه خوش است و ناخوش است ** آدمی سوز است و عین آتش است
- Any one to whom fire is a refuge and support becomes both a Magian and a Zoroaster.
- هر که را آتش پناه و پشت شد ** هم مجوسی گشت و هم زردشت شد
- Everything except Allah is vain: verily the grace of Allah is a cloud pouring abundantly and continually.
- کل شیء ما خلا الله باطل ** إن فضل الله غیم هاطل
- Returning to the story of ‘Alí—may God honour his person!— and how generously he behaved to his murderer.
- باز گشتن به حکایت امیر المؤمنین علی کرم الله وجهه و مسامحت کردن او با خونی خویش
- Go back to ‘Alí and his murderer, and the kindness he showed to the murderer, and his superiority (moral and spiritual excellence).
- باز رو سوی علی و خونیاش ** و آن کرم با خونی و افزونیاش
- He said, “Day and night I see the enemy with my eyes, (but) I have no anger against him, 3925
- گفت دشمن را همی بینم به چشم ** روز و شب بر وی ندارم هیچ خشم
- Because death has become sweet as manna to me: my death has laid fast hold of resurrection.”
- ز آنکه مرگم همچو من خوش آمده ست ** مرگ من در بعث چنگ اندر زده ست
- The death of deathlessness is lawful to us, the provision of unprovidedness is a bounty to us.
- مرگ بیمرگی بود ما را حلال ** برگ بیبرگی بود ما را نوال
