  • نقش او فانی و او شد آینه ** غیر نقش روی غیر آن جای نه
  • If you spit (at it), you spit at your own face; and if you strike at the mirror, you strike at yourself;

  • And if you see an ugly face (in that mirror), ’tis you; and if you see Jesus and Mary, ’tis you.
  • ور ببینی روی زشت آن هم توی ** ور ببینی عیسی و مریم توی
  • He is neither this nor that: he is simple (pure and free from attributes of self): he has placed your image before you.

  • Every moment when you enjoy (union with the Beloved), deem that delightful moment to be the edge of the roof.
  • هر زمانی که شدی تو کامران ** آن دم خوش را کنار بام دان
  • Be trembling for (fear of losing) the delightful moment: conceal it like a treasure, do not divulge it.
  • بر زمان خوش هراسان باش تو ** هم‌چو گنجش خفیه کن نه فاش تو
