  • Suddenly one night, another Amír, a person of good principles (who was) congenial to him, came seeking his hospitality.
  • آمدش مهمان بناگاهان شبی  ** هم امیری جنس او خوش‌مذهبی 
  • They wanted wine in order to enjoy themselves: at that period wine was permissible and lawful;
  • باده می‌بایستشان در نظم حال  ** باده بود آن وقت ماذون و حلال 
  • (But) they had no wine, so he (the Amír) said to his slave, “Go, fill the jug and fetch us wine 3445
  • باده‌شان کم بود و گفتا ای غلام  ** رو سبو پر کن به ما آور مدام 
  • From such-and-such a Christian ascetic who has choice wine, that the soul (in us) may win release from high and low.”
  • از فلان راهب که دارد خمر خاص  ** تا ز خاص و عام یابد جان خلاص 
  • One draught from the Christian ascetic's cup has the same effect as thousands of wine-jars and wine-cellars.
  • جرعه‌ای زان جام راهب آن کند  ** که هزاران جره و خمدان کند 
  • In that (Christian's) wine there is a hidden (spiritual) substance, even as (spiritual) sovereignty is (hidden) in the dervish-cloak.
  • اندر آن می مایه‌ی پنهانی است  ** آنچنان که اندر عبا سلطانی است 
  • Do not regard (merely) the tattered cloak, for they have put black on the outside of the gold.
  • تو بدلق پاره‌پاره کم نگر  ** که سیه کردند از بیرون زر 
  • On account of the evil eye he (the dervish) becomes (apparently) reprobate, and that (spiritual) ruby is tarnished with smoke on the outside. 3450
  • از برای چشم بد مردود شد  ** وز برون آن لعل دودآلود شد 
  • When are treasures and jewels (exposed to view) in the rooms of a house? Treasures are always (hidden) in ruins.
  • گنج و گوهر کی میان خانه‌هاست  ** گنجها پیوسته در ویرانه‌هاست 
  • Since Adam's treasure was buried in a ruin, his clay became a bandage over the eye of the accursed (Iblís).
  • گنج آدم چون بویران بد دفین  ** گشت طینش چشم‌بند آن لعین
