  • You will say, ‘There (in the world below) I was sifting dust, I was fleeing from this pure world.
  • گویی آنجا خاک را می‌بیختم  ** زین جهان پاک می‌بگریختم 

  • Alas, would that I had died ere now, so that my (time of) being tormented in the mud might have been less!’
  • ای دریغا پیش ازین بودیم اجل  ** تا عذابم کم بدی اندر وجل 

  • Commentary on the saying of the Prophet, on whom be peace, “None ever died without wishing, if he was a righteous man, that he had died before he (actually) died, in order that he might sooner attain unto felicity; and if he was a wicked man, in order that his wickedness might be less.”
  • در تفسیر قول رسول علیه‌السلام ما مات من مات الا و تمنی ان یموت قبل ما مات ان کان برا لیکون الی وصول البر اعجل و ان کان فاجرا لیقل فجوره 

  • Hence the wise Prophet has said that no one who dies and dismounts from (the steed of) the body
  • زین بفرمودست آن آگه رسول  ** که هر آنک مرد و کرد از تن نزول 

  • Feels grief on account of departure and death, but (only) grieves because of having failed (in good works) and missed his opportunities. 605
  • نبود او را حسرت نقلان و موت  ** لیک باشد حسرت تقصیر و فوت 

  • In sooth every one that dies wishes that the departure to his destination had been earlier:
  • هر که میرد خود تمنی باشدش  ** که بدی زین پیش نقل مقصدش 

  • If he be wicked, in order that his wickedness might have been less; and if devout, in order that he might have come home sooner.
  • گر بود بد تا بدی کمتر بدی  ** ور تقی تا خانه زوتر آمدی 

  • The wicked man says, ‘I have been heedless, moment by moment I have been adding to the veil (of sin).
  • گوید آن بد بی‌خبر می‌بوده‌ام  ** دم به دم من پرده می‌افزوده‌ام 

  • If my passing (from the world) had taken place sooner, this screen and veil of mine would have been less.’
  • گر ازین زودتر مرا معبر بدی  ** این حجاب و پرده‌ام کمتر بدی 

  • Do not in covetousness rend the face of contentment, and do not in pride rend the visage of humility. 610
  • از حریصی کم دران روی قنوع  ** وز تکبر کم دران چهره‌ی خشوع 

  • Likewise do not in avarice rend the face of munificence, and in devilishness the beauteous countenance of worship.
  • هم‌چنین از بخل کم در روی جود  ** وز بلیسی چهره‌ی خوب سجود
