- Inasmuch as the foundation of the workshop is that non-existence which is void and traceless and empty,
- چونک اصل کارگاه آن نیستیست ** که خلا و بی‌نشانست و تهیست
- (And inasmuch as) all master-craftsmen seek non-existence and a place of breakage for the purpose of exhibiting their skill,
- جمله استادان پی اظهار کار ** نیستی جویند و جای انکسار
- Necessarily the Lord (who is) the Master of (all) masters— His workshop is non-existence and naught.
- لاجرم استاد استادان صمد ** کارگاهش نیستی و لا بود
- Wherever this non-existence is greater, (the more manifest) in that quarter is the work and workshop of God. 1470
- هر کجا این نیستی افزون‌ترست ** کار حق و کارگاهش آن سرست
- Since the highest stage is non-existence, the dervishes have outstripped all (others),
- نیستی چون هست بالایین طبق ** بر همه بردند درویشان سبق
- Especially the dervish that has become devoid of body and (worldly) goods: poverty (deprivation) of body is the (important) matter, not beggary.
- خاصه درویشی که شد بی جسم و مال ** کار فقر جسم دارد نه سال
- The beggar is he whose (worldly) goods have melted away; the contented man is he who has gambled away (sacrificed) his body.
- سایل آن باشد که مال او گداخت ** قانع آن باشد که جسم خویش باخت
- Therefore do not now complain of affliction, for it is a smooth-paced horse (carrying you) towards non-existence.
- پس ز درد اکنون شکایت بر مدار ** کوست سوی نیست اسپی راهوار
- We have said so much: think of the remainder, (or) if thought be frozen (unable to move), practise recollection (of God). 1475
- این قدر گفتیم باقی فکر کن ** فکر اگر جامد بود رو ذکر کن
- Recollection (of God) brings thought into movement: make recollection to be the sun for this congealed (thought).
- ذکر آرد فکر را در اهتزاز ** ذکر را خورشید این افسرده ساز
