  • حسرت و زاری گه بیماری است ** وقت بیماری همه بیداری است‌‌
  • Remorse and humility occur at the time of illness: the time of illness is wholly wakefulness (of conscience).

  • بسته در زنجیر چون شادی کند ** کی اسیر حبس آزادی کند
  • How should one make merry who is bound in chains? When does the captive in prison behave like the man who is free?
  • ور تو می‌‌بینی که پایت بسته‌‌اند ** بر تو سرهنگان شه بنشسته‌‌اند
  • And if you consider that your foot is shackled (and that) the king's officers are sitting (as custodians) over you,
