- I sold my merchandise, I received base gold: I was going home in great jubilation. 1510
- رخت دادم زر قلبی بستدم ** شاد شادان سوی خانه می‌شدم
- 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
- Since its (the coin's) baseness has been revealed earlier (in good time), I will step back from it very quickly.”
- چون بگه‌تر قلبی او رو نمود ** پای خود زو وا کشم من زود زود
- When your friend displays enmity (and when) the itch of his hatred and jealousy shoots forth (manifests itself),
- یار تو چون دشمنی پیدا کند ** گر حقد و رشک او بیرون زند
- Do not bewail his aversion, do not make yourself (do not let yourself behave as) a fool and ignoramus; 1515
- تو از آن اعراض او افغان مکن ** خویشتن را ابله و نادان مکن
- 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
- That friend, in sooth, may be the (Divine) Sultan and exalted King, or he may be one accepted of the Sultan and one who intercedes (with Him).
- آن مگر سلطان بود شاه رفیع ** یا بود مقبول سلطان و شفیع
