Adulteris (erit) foetor membri latentis; wine-drinkers will have stinking mouths. [Adulturers (will) have stinking private members; wine-drinkers will have stinking mouths.]
زانیان را گند اندام نهان ** خمر خواران را بود گند دهان
The hidden stench that was reaching (only) to (people's) hearts will become sensible and manifest at the Resurrection.1415
گند مخفی کان به دلها میرسید ** گشت اندر حشر محسوس و پدید
The being of Man is a jungle: be on your guard against this being, if you are of that (Divine) Breath.
بیشهای آمد وجود آدمی ** بر حذر شو زین وجود ار ز آن دمی
In our being there are thousands of wolves and hogs; (there is) goodly and ungodly and fair and foul.
در وجود ما هزاران گرگ و خوک ** صالح و ناصالح و خوب و خشوک
To the disposition that is preponderant belongs the decision (as to what you are): when the gold is more than the copper, it (the mixture) is gold.
حکم آن خور است کان غالبتر است ** چون که زر بیش از مس آید آن زر است
The manner of acting that preponderates in your nature—in that same form you must needs rise (from the dead).
سیرتی کان بر وجودت غالب است ** هم بر آن تصویر حشرت واجب است
At one hour a wolf enters into Man, at another hour a moon-like beauty with the face of Joseph.1420
ساعتی گرگی در آید در بشر ** ساعتی یوسف رخی همچون قمر
Good and hateful qualities pass from bosoms into bosoms by a hidden way;
میرود از سینهها در سینهها ** از ره پنهان صلاح و کینهها
Nay, indeed, wisdom and knowledge and excellence pass from Man into the ox and the ass.
بلکه خود از آدمی در گاو و خر ** میرود دانایی و علم و هنر
The stumbling (restive) horse becomes smooth-paced and docile; the bear dances, the goat also salaams.
اسب سکسک میشود رهواار و رام **. خرس بازی میکند بز هم سلام
