(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
Thou art speaking of separation and banishment: do what I thou wilt but do not this.
از فراق و هجر میگویی سخن ** هر چه خواهی کن ولیکن این مکن
A hundred thousand bitter sixtyfold deaths are not like (comparable) to separation from thy face.4115
صد هزاران مرگ تلخ شصت تو ** نیست مانند فراق روی تو
Keep the bitterness of banishment aloof from males and females, O thou whose help is besought by sinners!
تلخی هجر از ذکور و از اناث ** دور دار ای مجرمان را مستغاث
‘Tis sweet to die in hope of union with thee; the bitterness of banishment from thee is worse than fire.”
بر امید وصل تو مردن خوشست ** تلخی هجر تو فوق آتشست
Amidst Hell-fire the infidel is saying, “What pain should I feel if He (God) were to look on me (with favour)?”
گبر میگوید میان آن سقر ** چه غمم بودی گرم کردی نظر
For that look makes (all) pains sweet: it is the blood-price (paid) to the magicians (of Pharaoh) for (the amputation of) their hands and feet.
کان نظر شیرین کنندهی رنجهاست ** ساحران را خونبهای دست و پاست
Commentary on the Saying of Pharaoh's magicians in the hour of their punishment, “’Tis no harm, for lo, we shall return unto our Lord.”
