705-714

  • The seeds of dissension which he (the vizier) had sown had become a calamity (cause of destruction) to their heads. 705
  • تخمهای فتنه‌‌ها کاو کشته بود ** آفت سرهای ایشان گشته بود
  • The walnuts (bodies) were broken, and those which had the kernel had, after being slain, a spirit pure and fair.
  • جوزها بشکست و آن کان مغز داشت ** بعد کشتن روح پاک نغز داشت‌‌
  • Slaughter and death which befalls the bodily frame is like breaking pomegranates and apples:
  • کشتن و مردن که بر نقش تن است ** چون انار و سیب را بشکستن است‌‌
  • That which is sweet becomes pomegranate-syrup, and that which is rotten is naught but noise:
  • آن چه شیرین است او شد ناردانگ ** و آن که پوسیده ست نبود غیر بانگ‌‌
  • That which has reality is made manifest (after death), and that which is rotten is put to shame.
  • آن چه با معنی است خود پیدا شود ** و آن چه پوسیده ست او رسوا شود
  • Go, strive after reality, O worshipper of form, inasmuch as reality is the wing on form's body. 710
  • رو به معنی کوش ای صورت پرست ** ز آن که معنی بر تن صورت پر است‌‌
  • Consort with the followers of reality, that you may both win the gift and be generous (in giving yourself up to God).
  • همنشین اهل معنی باش تا ** هم عطا یابی و هم باشی فتا
  • Beyond dispute, in this body the spirit devoid of reality is even as a wooden sword in the sheath:
  • جان بی‌‌معنی در این تن بی‌‌خلاف ** هست همچون تیغ چوبین در غلاف‌‌
  • Whilst it remains in the sheath, it is (apparently) valuable, (but) when it has come forth it is an implement (only fit) for burning.
  • تا غلاف اندر بود با قیمت است ** چون برون شد سوختن را آلت است‌‌
  • Do not take a wooden sword into the battle! First see (whether your sword is a real one), in order that your plight may not be wretched.
  • تیغ چوبین را مبر در کارزار ** بنگر اول تا نگردد کار زار
