- (If) Thou wilt burn Thy house, burn it! Who is he that will say, “’Tis not allowed”?
- خانه‌ی خود را همی‌سوزی بسوز ** کیست آن کس کو بگوید لایجوز
- Burn this house well (and thoroughly), O furious Lion! The lover's house is better so.
- خوش بسوز این خانه را ای شر مست ** خانه‌ی عاشق چنین اولیترست
- Henceforth I will make this burning my qibla (aim), for I am (like) the candle: I am (made) bright by burning. 620
