- Thou didst show the delightfulness of Being unto not-being, (after) thou hadst caused not-being to fall in love with thee.
- لذت هستی نمودی نیست را ** عاشق خود کرده بودی نیست را
- Take not away the delightfulness of thy bounty; take not away thy dessert and wine and wine-cup!
- لذت انعام خود را وامگیر ** نقل و باده و جام خود را وامگیر
- And if thou take it away, who will make inquiry of thee? How should the picture strive with the painter?
- ور بگیری کیت جستجو کند ** نقش با نقاش چون نیرو کند
- Do not look on us, do not fix thy gaze on us: look on thine own kindness and generosity.
- منگر اندر ما، مکن در ما نظر ** اندر اکرام و سخای خود نگر
- We were not, and there was no demand on our part, (yet) thy grace was hearkening to our unspoken prayer (and calling us into existence).” 610
- ما نبودیم و تقاضامان نبود ** لطف تو ناگفته‌‌ی ما می‌‌شنود
- Before the painter and the brush the picture is helpless and bound like a child in the womb.
- نقش باشد پیش نقاش و قلم ** عاجز و بسته چو کودک در شکم
- Before Omnipotence all the people of the (Divine) court of audience (the world) are as helpless as the (embroiderer's) fabric before the needle.
- پیش قدرت خلق جمله بارگه ** عاجزان چون پیش سوزن کارگه
- Now He makes the picture thereon (one of) the Devil, now (of) Adam; now He makes the picture thereon (one of) joy, now (one of) grief.
- گاه نقشش دیو و گه آدم کند ** گاه نقشش شادی و گه غم کند
