- شیخ گفت این خود نه جام است و نه می ** هین به زیر آن منکرا بنگر به وی
- He came, and saw it was fine honey. That miserable enemy (of God) became blind (with shame and confusion).

- Thereupon the Pír said to his disciple, “Go, seek wine for me, O noble sir;
- گفت پیر آن دم مرید خویش را ** رو برای من بجو می ای کیا
- For I have a pain; I am reduced to necessity: because of the pain, I have passed beyond starvation. 3415
- که مرا رنجی است مضطر گشتهام ** من ز رنج از مخمصه بگذشتهام

- گفت ای رندان چه حال است این چه کار ** هیچ خمی در نمیبینم عقار

- (They said), “Thou camest into the tavern, O most exalted Shaykh, and in consequence of thy coming-all the wines have turned to honey.
- در خرابات آمدی شیخ اجل ** جمله میها از قدومت شد عسل
