If an intoxication had come (upon you) without exertion on your part, the spiritual Cup-bearer would have kept your covenant (inviolate).
گر رسیدی مستی بی‌جهد تو ** حفظ کردی ساقی جان عهد تو
He would have been your backer and intercessor: I am devoted to the sin of him who is intoxicated by God.”
پشت‌دارت بودی او و عذرخواه ** من غلام زلت مست اله
(Ayáz said), “The forgivenesses of the whole world are (but) a mote—the reflexion of thy forgiveness, O thou from whom comes, every fortune.4110
عفوهای جمله عالم ذره‌ای ** عکس عفوت ای ز تو هر بهره‌ای
(All) forgivenesses sing the praise of thy forgiveness: there is no peer to it. O people, beware (of comparing it)!
عفوها گفته ثنای عفو تو ** نیست کفوش ایها الناس اتقوا
Grant them their lives, neither banish them from thyself: they are (the objects of) thy sweet desire, O thou who bringest (all thy) desire to fruition.
جانشان بخش و ز خودشان هم مران ** کام شیرین تو اند ای کامران
Have mercy on him that beheld thy face: how shall he endure the bitter separation from thee?
رحم کن بر وی که روی تو بدید ** فرقت تلخ تو چون خواهد کشید
