من نیم جنس شهنشه دور از او ** لیک دارم در تجلی نور از او 1170

باد جنس آتش آمد در قوام ** طبع را جنس آمده ست آخر مدام

جنس ما چون نیست جنس شاه ما ** مای ما شد بهر مای او فنا

چون فنا شد مای ما او ماند فرد ** پیش پای اسب او گردم چو گرد

خاک شد جان و نشانیهای او ** هست بر خاکش نشان پای او 1175

تا که نفریبد شما را شکل من ** نقل من نوشید پیش از نقل من

ای بسا کس را که صورت راه زد ** قصد صورت کرد و بر الله زد

آخر این جان با بدن پیوسته است ** هیچ این جان با بدن مانند هست
