  • O Mary, look (well), for I am a difficult form (to apprehend): I am both a new moon and a phantasy in the heart.
  • مریما بنگر که نقش مشکلم ** هم هلالم هم خیال اندر دلم

  • When a phantasy comes into thy heart and settles (there), it is (still) with thee wheresoever thou fleest—

  • Except an unsubstantial and vain phantasy which is one that sinks (and disappears) like the false dawn. 3775

  • اینچنین نخلی که لطف یار ماست ** چونک ما دزدیم نخلش دار ماست

  • Such a musky (fragrant) object, which is the tress of our Prince—since we are demented, this (tress) is our chain.
  • اینچنین مشکین که زلف میر ماست ** چونک بی‌عقلیم این زنجیر ماست

  • Such a (Divine) grace is flowing like a Nile—since we are Pharaohs, it is becoming like blood. 3785

  • شمع مریم را بهل افروخته ** که بخارا می‌رود آن سوخته

  • Mightily impatient and in the blazing furnace (of love). Go, make a transition to the (story of the) Sadr-i Jahán. 3790
  • سخت بی‌صبر و در آتشدان تیز ** رو سوی صدر جهان می‌کن گریز

  • This “Bukhárá” is the source if knowledge; therefore every one who has that (knowledge) is a native of “Bukhárá.”
  • این بخارا منبع دانش بود ** پس بخاراییست هر کنش بود

  • Save with lowliness (shown by you), its difficult ebb and flow will not give (you) entrance into the “Bukhárá” of his heart.
