  • Thanks (to God) that this gold was shown to be base now, before too much of my life had passed.
  • شکر کین زر قلب پیدا شد کنون  ** پیش از آنک عمر بگذشتی فزون 
  • The base coin would have remained (as a shackle) on my neck for ever: to waste my life (thus) would have been an iniquity.
  • قلب ماندی تا ابد در گردنم  ** حیف بودی عمر ضایع کردنم

  • Nay, thank God and give bread (alms), (in gratitude) that you have not become old (and rotten) in his sack,
  • بلک شکر حق کن و نان بخش کن  ** که نگشتی در جوال او کهن 
  • (But) have quickly come out of his sack to seek the true Eternal Friend,
  • از جوالش زود بیرون آمدی  ** تا بجویی یار صدق سرمدی 
  • The delectable Friend whose friendship's cord becomes threefold (thrice as strong) after thy death.
  • نازنین یاری که بعد از مرگ تو  ** رشته‌ی یاری او گردد سه تو
