  • And (yet) the whole company (of Amirs) in their ignorance and blindness had broken the pearl of the King’s command.
  • The precious pearl, the product of love and affection—why was it (ever) veiled from hearts like those?
  • How the Amirs reviled Ayáz, saying, “Why did he break it?” and how Ayáz answered them.
  • Ayáz said, “O renowned princes, is the King’s command more precious or the pearl? 4075
  • In your eyes is the command of the sovereign or this goodly pearl superior? For God’s sake (tell me that)!
  • O ye whose gaze is (fixed) upon the pearl, not upon the King, the ghoul is your object of desire, not the highway.
  • I will never avert my gaze from the King, I will not turn my face towards a stone, like the polytheist.
  • Devoid of the (spiritual) pearl is the soul that prefers a coloured stone and puts my King behind.”
  • Turn thy back towards the rose-colored doll, lose thy reason in Him who bestows the colour. 4080
  • Come into the river (of reality), dash the pitcher (of phenomenal form) against the stone, set fire to (mere) scent and colour.
  • If thou art not one of the brigands on the Way of the Religion, do not be addicted, like women, to colour and scent.
