  • مرد باش و سخره‌‌ی مردان مشو ** رو سر خود گیر و سر گردان مشو
  • Be a man and be not subject to men. Go, take your own head (choose your own way), and be not one whose head is turning (bewildered in search of a guide).”
  • در یکی گفته که این جمله یکی است ** هر که او دو بیند احول مردکی است‌‌ 495
  • In one he said: “All this (multiplicity) is one: whoever sees two is a squint-eyed manikin.”
  • در یکی گفته که صد یک چون بود ** این کی اندیشد مگر مجنون بود
  • In one he said: “How should a hundred be one? He who thinks this is surely mad.”
  • هر یکی قولی است ضد همدگر ** چون یکی باشد یکی زهر و شکر
  • The doctrines, every one, are contrary to each other: how should they be one? Are poison and sugar one?
  • تا ز زهر و از شکر در نگذری ** کی تو از گلزار وحدت بر بری‌‌
  • Until you pass beyond (the difference of) poison and sugar, how will you catch a scent from the garden of Unity?
  • این نمط وین نوع ده طومار و دو ** بر نوشت آن دین عیسی را عدو

  • او ز یک رنگی عیسی بو نداشت ** وز مزاج خم عیسی خو نداشت‌‌ 500
  • He had no scent (perception) of the unicolority of Jesus, nor had he a disposition from (imbued with) the tincture of the dyeing-vat of Jesus.
  • جامه‌‌ی صد رنگ از آن خم صفا ** ساده و یک رنگ گشتی چون صبا
  • From that pure vat a garment of a hundred colours would become as simple and one-coloured as the zephyr.
  • نیست یک رنگی کز او خیزد ملال ** بل مثال ماهی و آب زلال‌‌
  • (This) is not the unicolority from which weariness ensues; nay, it is (a case) like (that of) fishes and clear water:
  • گر چه در خشکی هزاران رنگهاست ** ماهیان را با یبوست جنگهاست‌‌
  • Although there are thousands of colours on dry land, (yet) fishes are at war with dryness.
