  • That this beauty and perfection (of mine) may be impaired. When my face (beauty) remains no more, I shall not fall into woe.
  • تا شود کم این جمال و این کمال  ** چون نماند رو کم افتم در وبال 

  • When I rend (my face) with this intention, ’tis no sin, for this face ought to be covered with wounds.
  • چون بدین نیت خراشم بزه نیست  ** که به زخم این روی را پوشیدنیست 

  • If my heart had a modest disposition, my handsome face would produce naught but purity (goodness). 665
  • گر دلم خوی ستیری داشتی  ** روی خوبم جز صفا نفراشتی 

  • Since I did not see (in myself) strength and wisdom and righteousness, I saw the adversary and at once broke my weapons,
  • چون ندیدم زور و فرهنگ و صلاح  ** خصم دیدم زود بشکستم سلاح 

  • Lest my sword should become useful to him; lest my dagger should become hurtful to me.
  • تا نگردد تیغ من او را کمال  ** تا نگردد خنجرم بر من وبال 

  • I will continue to flee as long as my veins are running, (but) how should it be easy to escape from one's self?
  • می‌گریزم تا رگم جنبان بود  ** کی فرار از خویشتن آسان بود 

  • He who is in flight from another obtains rest when he has been separated from him (the pursuer).
  • آنک از غیری بود او را فرار  ** چون ازو ببرید گیرد او قرار 

  • I, who am the adversary (of myself), ’tis I that am in flight (from myself): rising and departing is my occupation for ever. 670

  • نه به هندست آمن و نه در ختن  ** آنک خصم اوست سایه‌ی خویشتن 

  • Description of the selfless ones who have become safe from their own vices and virtues; for they are naughted in the everlastingness of God, like stars which are naughted (vanish) in the Sun during the daytime; and he who is naughted hath no fear of bane and (is free from) danger.
  • در صفت آن بی‌خودان کی از شر خود و هنر خود آمن شده‌اند کی فانی‌اند در بقای حق هم‌چون ستارگان کی فانی‌اند روز در آفتاب و فانی را خوف آفت و خطر نباشد 

  • When, through (spiritual) poverty, faná (self-naughting) graces him (such a one), he becomes shadowless like Mohammed.
  • چون فناش از فقر پیرایه شود  ** او محمدوار بی‌سایه شود
