  • گردانیدن عمر نظر او را از مقام گریه که هستی است به مقام استغراق که نیستی است‌‌
  • How ‘Umar, may God be well-pleased with him, bade him (the harper) turn his gaze from the stage of weeping, which is (self-) existence, to the stage of absorption (in God).
  • پس عمر گفتش که این زاری تو ** هست هم آثار هشیاری تو
  • Then ‘Umar said to him, “This wailing of thine is also (one of) the marks of thy sobriety (self-consciousness).

  • Whilst the reed is knotted, it is not a sharer of secrets: it is not the companion of the (flute-player's) lip and voice.
  • چون به طوفی خود به طوفی مرتدی ** چون به خانه آمدی هم با خودی‌‌
  • When thou art (engaged) in going about (seeking God) thou art indeed wrapped in (thy) going about: when thou hast come home, thou art still with thyself (self-conscious).
  • ای خبرهات از خبر ده بی‌‌خبر ** توبه‌‌ی تو از گناه تو بتر 2205

  • ای تو از حال گذشته توبه جو ** کی کنی توبه از این توبه بگو
  • O thou that seekest to repent of a state that is past, say, when wilt thou repent of this repentance?
