- Thou art the Angel of mercy: show mercy! Thou art the bearer of the Throne and the qibla of (Divine) gifts.”
- تو فرشتهی رحمتی رحمت نما ** حامل عرشی و قبلهی دادها
- The Throne is the mine (source) of justice and equity: beneath it are four rivers filled with forgiveness:
- عرش معدن گاه داد و معدلت ** چار جو در زیر او پر مغفرت
- A river of milk and a river of honey everlasting; a river of wine and a river of running water.
- جوی شیر و جوی شهد جاودان ** جوی خمر و دجلهی آب روان
- Then from the Throne they flow into Paradise; some little thing (offshoot) appears in this world too, 1630
- پس ز عرش اندر بهشتستان رود ** در جهان هم چیزکی ظاهر شود
- Although here those four (rivers) are defiled—by what? By the poison of mortality and indigestion.
- گرچه آلودهست اینجا آن چهار ** از چه از زهر فنا و ناگوار
- From (each of) those four (rivers) a draught has been poured on the dark Earth and a temptation has been offered,
- جرعهای بر خاک تیره ریختند ** زان چهار و فتنهای انگیختند
- In order that these vile wretches may seek the source thereof; (but) these worthless folk are content with this (draught).
- تا بجویند اصل آن را این خسان ** خود برین قانع شدند این ناکسان
- He (God) hath given milk and nourishment for babes: He hath made the breast of every wife a fountain (of milk).
- شیر داد و پرورش اطفال را ** چشمه کرده سینهی هر زال را
- (He hath given) wine to drive away grief and care: He hath made of the grape a fountain to inspire courage. 1635
- خمر دفع غصه و اندیشه را ** چشمه کرده از عنب در اجترا
- (He hath given) honey as a remedy for the sick body: He hath made the inward part of the bee a fountain (of honey).
- انگبین داروی تن رنجور را ** چشمه کرده باطن زنبور را
