  • عهد و پیمان می‌‌کنی که بعد از این ** جز که طاعت نبودم کار گزین‌‌
  • You make promises and vows that henceforth your chosen course (of action) will be nothing but obedience (to God):
  • پس یقین گشت این که بیماری ترا ** می‌‌ببخشد هوش و بیداری ترا

  • پس بدان این اصل را ای اصل جو ** هر که را درد است او برده ست بو

  • چون تو جبر او نمی‌‌بینی مگو ** ور همی‌‌بینی نشان دید کو
  • Since you do not feel His compulsion, do not say (that you are compelled); and if you feel it, where is the sign of your feeling?
  • در هر آن کاری که میل استت بدان ** قدرت خود را همی‌‌بینی عیان‌‌ 635
  • In every act for which you have inclination, you are clearly conscious of your power (to perform it),
