This second king set foot in the evil way that was originated by the former king.

سنت بد کز شه اول بزاد ** این شه دیگر قدم بر وی نهاد

هر که او بنهاد ناخوش سنتی ** سوی او نفرین رود هر ساعتی‌‌

The righteous departed and their ways remained, and from the vile there remained (nothing but) injustice and execrations.

نیکوان رفتند و سنتها بماند ** وز لئیمان ظلم و لعنتها بماند

تا قیامت هر که جنس آن بدان ** در وجود آید بود رویش بدان‌‌

Vein by vein is this sweet water and bitter water, flowing in (God's) creatures until the blast of the trumpet (at the Resurrection).

رگ رگ است این آب شیرین و آب شور ** در خلایق می‌‌رود تا نفخ صور

To the righteous is the inheritance of the sweet water. What is that inheritance? We have caused (those of Our servants whom We have chosen) to inherit the Book.

نیکوان را هست میراث از خوش‌‌آب ** آن چه میراث است أورثنا الکتاب‌‌

شد نیاز طالبان ار بنگری ** شعله‌‌ها از گوهر پیغمبری‌‌

شعله‌‌ها با گوهران گردان بود ** شعله آن جانب رود هم کان بود

The window-gleam runs round the house, because the sun goes from sign to sign of the zodiac. 750

نور روزن گرد خانه می‌‌دود ** ز آنکه خور برجی به برجی می‌‌رود
