  • (Yet) when God puts a (motive of) wrath into your bread, that bread will stick in your gullet (and choke you) like a quinsy.

  • Crying, “We are dead for the most part: mercy, O Prince!” Read the rest of it in the book of commentary (on the Qur’án).

  • Since that deft-handed One made the rod (of Moses) a serpent, that instance is enough if you have any intelligence.
  • چون عصا را مار کرد آن چست‌دست  ** گر ترا عقلیست آن نکته بس است 

  • You possess (the faculty of) consideration, but it does not go deep (into the subject): it is a frozen spring and has stopped (flowing). 2180
