- On this account the Prophet said, “I am as the Ship (Ark) in the Flood of Time.
- بهر این فرمود پیغامبر که من ** هم‌چو کشتی‌ام به طوفان زمن
- I and my Companions are as the Ship of Noah: whoso clings (to us) will gain (spiritual) graces.”
- ما و اصحابم چو آن کشتی نوح ** هر که دست اندر زند یابد فتوح
- When you are with the Shaykh you are far removed from wickedness: day and night you are a traveller and in a ship. 540
- چونک با شیخی تو دور از زشتیی ** روز و شب سیاری و در کشتیی
- You are under the protection of a life-giving spirit: you are asleep in the ship, you are going on the way.
- در پناه جان جان‌بخشی توی ** کشتی اندر خفته‌ای ره می‌روی
- Do not break with the prophet of your days: do not rely on your own skill and footsteps.
- مسکل از پیغامبر ایام خویش ** تکیه کم کن بر فن و بر کام خویش
- Lion though you are, you are self-conceited and in error and contemptible when you go on the way without a guide.
- گرچه شیری چون روی ره بی‌دلیل ** خویش‌بین و در ضلالی و ذلیل
- Beware! Do not fly but with the wings of the Shaykh, that you may see (receive) the aid of the armies of the Shaykh.
- هین مپر الا که با پرهای شیخ ** تا ببینی عون و لشکرهای شیخ
- At one time the wave of his mercy is your pinion, at another moment the fire of his wrath is your carrier. 545
- یک زمانی موج لطفش بال تست ** آتش قهرش دمی حمال تست
- Do not reckon his wrath to be the contrary of his mercy: behold the oneness of both (these qualities) in the effect.
- قهر او را ضد لطفش کم شمر ** اتحاد هر دو بین اندر اثر
- At one time he will make you green like the earth, at another time he will make you full of wind, and big.
- یک زمان چون خاک سبزت می‌کند ** یک زمان پر باد و گبزت می‌کند
