  • If you dislike (to have) the jealousy of Iblís, come (away) from the door of pretension (and advance) to the portal of loyalty.
  • گر نخواهی رشک ابلیسی بیا  ** از در دعوی به درگاه وفا 

  • When thou hast not loyalty, at least do not talk (presumptuously), for words are for the most part self-assertion—‘we’ and ‘I.’
  • چون وفاات نیست باری دم مزن  ** که سخن دعویست اغلب ما و من 

  • These words, (whilst they stay) in the breast, are an income consisting of (spiritual) kernels: in silence the spiritual kernel grows a hundredfold. 1175
  • این سخن در سینه دخل مغزهاست  ** در خموشی مغز جان را صد نماست 

  • When it (the word) comes on to the tongue, the kernel is expended: refrain from expending, in order that the goodly kernel may remain (with you).
  • چون بیامد در زبان شد خرج مغز  ** خرج کم کن تا بماند مغز نغز 

  • The man who speaks little hath strong thoughts: when the husk, namely speech, becomes excessive, the kernel goes.
  • مرد کم گوینده را فکرست زفت  ** قشر گفتن چون فزون شد مغز رفت 

  • (When) the rind is excessive, the kernel is thin: the rind becomes thin when it (the kernel) becomes perfect and goodly.
  • پوست افزون بود لاغر بود مغز  ** پوست لاغر شد چو کامل گشت و نغز 

  • Look at these three (fruits) when they have passed beyond immaturity: the walnut and the almond and the pistachio.
  • بنگر این هر سه ز خامی رسته را  ** جوز را و لوز را و پسته را 

  • Whoever disobeys (God) becomes a devil, for he becomes envious of the fortune of the righteous. 1180
  • هر که او عصیان کند شیطان شود  ** که حسود دولت نیکان شود 

  • When you have acted loyally in (keeping) your covenant with God, God will graciously keep His covenant with you.
  • چونک در عهد خدا کردی وفا  ** از کرم عهدت نگه دارد خدا 

  • You have shut your eyes to keeping faith with God, you have not hearkened to (the words) remember Me, I will remember you.
  • از وفای حق تو بسته دیده‌ای  ** اذکروا اذکرکم نشنیده‌ای 

  • Give ear, listen to (the words) keep My covenant, in order that (the words) I will keep your covenant may come from the Friend.
  • گوش نه اوفوا به عهدی گوش‌دار  ** تا که اوفی عهدکم آید ز یار 

  • What is our covenant and loan, O sorrowful one? (It is) like sowing a dry seed in the earth.
  • عهد و قرض ما چه باشد ای حزین  ** هم‌چو دانه‌ی خشک کشتن در زمین 

  • From that (sowing) neither do glory and grandeur accrue to the earth, nor riches to the owner of the earth. 1185
  • نه زمین را زان فروغ و لمتری  ** نه خداوند زمین را توانگری 

  • (’Tis nothing) except an indication, as though to say, ‘I need this kind (of produce), the origin whereof Thou didst create from non-existence.
  • جز اشارت که ازین می‌بایدم  ** که تو دادی اصل این را از عدم 

  • I ate, and (now) I bring the seed as a token, begging Thee to send to us such bounty (as before).’
  • خوردم و دانه بیاوردم نشان  ** که ازین نعمت به سوی ما کشان 

  • Abandon, then, the dry (verbal) prayer, O fortunate one; for the tree demands (presupposes) the scattering of seed.
  • پس دعای خشک هل ای نیک‌بخت  ** که فشاند دانه می‌خواهد درخت 

  • (But) if you have no seed, on account of that prayer God will bestow on you a palm-tree, saying, ‘How well did he labour!’
  • گر نداری دانه ایزد زان دعا  ** بخشدت نخلی که نعم ما سعی 

  • Like Mary: she had (heartfelt) pain, but no seed: an artful One made green that (withered) palm-tree (for her sake). 1190
  • هم‌چو مریم درد بودش دانه نی  ** سبز کرد آن نخل را صاحب‌فنی 

  • Because that noble Lady was loyal (to God), God gave unto her a hundred desires without desire on her part.
  • زانک وافی بود آن خاتون راد  ** بی‌مرادش داد یزدان صد مراد 

  • The company who have been loyal are given superiority over all (other) sorts (of men).
  • آن جماعت را که وافی بوده‌اند  ** بر همه اصنافشان افزوده‌اند 

  • Seas and mountains are made subject to them; the four elements also are the slaves of that class.
  • گشت دریاها مسخرشان و کوه  ** چار عنصر نیز بنده‌ی آن گروه 

  • This (miraculous power) is only a favour (conferred on them) for a sign, to the end that the disbelievers may see it plainly.
  • این خود اکرامیست از بهر نشان  ** تا ببینند اهل انکار آن عیان 

  • Those hidden graces of theirs, which come not into (the perception of) the senses or into description— 1195
