- In one he said: “That which God hath given you He made sweet to you in (at the time of) bringing it into existence. 480
- در یکی گفته که آن چه‌‌ت داد حق ** بر تو شیرین کرد در ایجاد حق
- He made it easy (blessed) to you, and do you take it gladly: do not throw yourself into anguish.”
- بر تو آسان کرد و خوش آن را بگیر ** خویشتن را در میفگن در زحیر
- In one he said: “Let go all that belongs to self, for it is wrong and bad to comply with your nature.”
- در یکی گفته که بگذار آن خود ** کان قبول طبع تو ردست و بد
- (Many) different roads have become easy (to follow): every one's religion has become (to him) as (dear) as life.
- راههای مختلف آسان شده ست ** هر یکی را ملتی چون جان شده ست
- If God's making (religion) easy were the (right) road, every Jew and Zoroastrian would have knowledge of Him.
- گر میسر کردن حق ره بدی ** هر جهود و گبر از او آگه بدی
- In one he said: “That (alone) is made easy (blessed) that (nothing but) spiritual food should be the life of the heart.” 485
- در یکی گفته میسر آن بود ** که حیات دل غذای جان بود
- When the enjoyments of the (sensual) nature are past, like brackish soil they raise no produce and crop.
- هر چه ذوق طبع باشد چون گذشت ** بر نیارد همچو شوره ریع و کشت
- The produce thereof is naught but penitence; the sale thereof yields only loss.
- جز پشیمانی نباشد ریع او ** جز خسارت پیش نارد بیع او
- That is not “easy” in the end; its (true) name ultimately is “hard.”
- آن میسر نبود اندر عاقبت ** نام او باشد معسر عاقبت
- Distinguish the hard from the easy: consider (what is) the goodliness of this and that in the end.
- تو معسر از میسر باز دان ** عاقبت بنگر جمال این و آن
