- For God's sake, for God's sake, for God's sake, O loyal disciple, although in (thy) conformity thou art seeking (spiritual) profit,
- الله الله الله ای وافی مرید ** گر چه درتقلید هستی مستفید
- Take heed not to say, ‘I saw that (spiritual) king weeping, and I wept like him’; for that is denial (of his exalted state).”
- تا نگویی دیدم آن شه میگریست ** من چو او بگریستم که آن منکریست
- A weeping full of ignorance and conformity and (mere) opinion is not like the weeping of that trusted one.
- گریهی پر جهل و پر تقلید و ظن ** نیست همچون گریهی آن متمن
- Do not judge (one) weeping by the analogy of (another) weeping: ’tis a long way from this weeping to that (weeping).
- تو قیاس گریه بر گریه مساز ** هست زین گریه بدان راه دراز
- That (weeping) is after a thirty years' (spiritual) warfare: the intellect can never get there. 1305
- هست آن از بعد سیساله جهاد ** عقل آنجا هیچ نتواند فتاد
- Beyond reason there are a hundred stages: deem not the intellect to be acquainted with that caravan.
- هست زان سوی خرد صد مرحله ** عقل را واقف مدان زان قافله
- His weeping is neither from sorrow nor from joy: (only) the spirit knows the weeping of (him who is) the fountain of beauties.
- گریهی او نه از غمست و نه از فرح ** روح داند گریهی عین الملح
- His weeping, his laughter—(both) are of Yonder (World) and transcend all that the intellect may conceive.
- گریهی او خندهی او آن سریست ** زانچ وهم عقل باشد آن بریست
- His tears are like his eye: how should the sightless eye become a (seeing) eye?
- آب دیدهی او چو دیدهی او بود ** دیدهی نادیده دیده کی شود
- That which he sees cannot be touched (apprehended) either by the analogical judgement of the intellect or by way of the senses. 1310
- آنچ او بیند نتان کردن مساس ** نه از قیاس عقل و نه از راه حواس
