  • If thou desire that misery should vanish (from thee), endeavour that wisdom should vanish from thee—

  • The wisdom which is born of (human) nature and phantasy, the wisdom which lacks the overflowing grace of the Light of the Glorious (God).
  • حکمتی کز طبع زاید وز خیال ** حکمتی بی‏فیض نور ذو الجلال‏

  • The wisdom of this world brings increase of supposition and doubt; the wisdom of the Religion bears (one) above the sky.
  • حکمت دنیا فزاید ظن و شک ** حکمت دینی برد فوق فلک‏

  • The ingenious rascals of (this) latter time have aggrandised themselves over the ancients;
  • زوبعان زیرک آخر زمان ** بر فزوده خویش بر پیشینیان‏

  • The (right) thought is that which opens a way: the (right) way is that on which a (spiritual) king advances.
  • فکر آن باشد که بگشاید رهی ** راه آن باشد که پیش آید شهی‏

  • The (true) king is he that goes into the presence of the King, and is not made king by treasuries and armies;
  • شاه آن باشد که از خود شه بود ** نه به مخزنها و لشکر شه شود

  • So that his kingship remains unto everlasting, like the glory of the empire of the Mohammedan Religion.
