When the darkness of pain is gone and he (the fool) has be come happy, its result and product also goes from his heart.
چون برفت آن ظلمت غم گشت خوش ** هم رود از دل نتیجه و زاده‌اش
He is making vow’s of repentance, whilst the Pír, Reason, is crying, “Though they should be sent back, they would surely return.”2300
می‌کند او توبه و پیر خرد ** بانگ لو ردوا لعادوا می‌زند

عقل ضد شهوتست ای پهلوان ** آنک شهوت می‌تند عقلش مخوان
