انت سر کاشف اسرارنا ** انت فجر مفجر انهارنا

تو بهاری ما چو باغ سبز خوش ** او نهان و آشکارا بخششش

تو چو جانی ما مثال دست و پا ** قبض و بسط دست از جان شد روا
Thou art as the reason, we are like this tongue: this tongue hath its (power of) expression from the reason.
تو چو عقلی ما مثال این زبان ** این زبان از عقل دارد این بیان
