  • Thy friends seek on agers by hunting (them); thou in (mere) malice seekest a blind man in the street.”

  • When the dog has learned the knowledge (imparted to him), he has escaped from error: he hunts lawful prey in the jungles.
  • علم چون آموخت سگ رست از ضلال ** می‏کند در بیشه‏ها صید حلال‏

  • When the dog has become knowing (‘álim), he marches briskly; when the dog has become a knower of God (‘árif), he becomes (as) the Men of the Cave.

  • کور نشناسد نه از بی‏چشمی است ** بلکه این ز آن است کز جهل است مست‏

  • Truly, the blind man is not more eyeless than the earth; and this earth, by the grace of God, has become a seer of (God's) enemies.
