If (these) ideas are not (sprung) from one (and the same) Plantation, how are they coming to the heart on each other's heels?
گر نه تصویرات از یک مغرس‌اند ** در پی هم سوی دل چون می‌رسند
Company after company, the army of our ideas, (impelled) by thirst, is speeding towards the fountain of the heart.

They fill their jars and go: they are continually appearing and vanishing.
جره‌ها پر می‌کنند و می‌روند ** دایما پیدا و پنهان می‌شوند
Regard (your) thoughts as stars of the sky (which are) revolving in the sphere of another heaven.
فکرها را اختران چرخ دان ** دایر اندر چرخ دیگر آسمان
(If) you have experienced good fortune (spiritual thoughts), give thanks (to God) and do works of charity; (if) you have experienced bad fortune (sensual thoughts), give alms and ask pardon (of God).2785

Who am I in relation to this? Come, O my King, make my ruling star auspicious and wheel once (towards me).
ما کییم این را بیا ای شاه من ** طالعم مقبل کن و چرخی بزن

روح را تابان کن از انوار ماه ** که ز آسیب ذنب جان شد سیاه
Deliver it from fancy and vain imagination and opinion, deliver it from the well and the tyranny of the rope,
از خیال و وهم و ظن بازش رهان ** از چه و جور رسن بازش رهان
In order that through Thy goodly lovingkindness a heart (such as mine) may lift its wings and soar up from a (body of) water and earth.
تا ز دلداری خوب تو دلی ** پر بر آرد بر پرد ز آب و گلی
O Prince of Egypt and faithful keeper of thy promise, the wronged Joseph is in thy prison.2790
ای عزیز مصر و در پیمان درست ** یوسف مظلوم در زندان تست
