  • سفره‌ی او پیش این از نان تهیست ** پیش یعقوبست پر کو مشتهیست
  • In the sight of this one (Joseph's brother) his (Joseph's) food-wallet is empty of bread; in the sight of Jacob it is full, for he is desiring eagerly.
  • روی ناشسته نبیند روی حور ** لا صلوة گفت الا بالطهور
  • None with face unwashed beholds the faces of the houris: he (the Prophet) said, “There is no ritual prayer without the ablution.”
  • عشق باشد لوت و پوت جانها ** جوع ازین رویست قوت جانها
  • Love is the meat and drink of souls; hunger, from this point of view, is the food of souls.
  • جوع یوسف بود آن یعقوب را ** بوی نانش می‌رسید از دور جا 3035
  • Jacob had hunger for Joseph; (hence) the smell of the bread was reaching him from afar.
  • آنک بستد پیرهن را می‌شتافت ** بوی پیراهان یوسف می‌نیافت
  • He that took the shirt (of Joseph) was hastening (on his way) and was not perceiving the scent of Joseph's shirt,
  • و آنک صد فرسنگ زان سو بود او ** چونک بد یعقوب می‌بویید بو
  • While he that was a hundred leagues (distant) from that quarter was smelling the perfume, since he was Jacob.
  • ای بسا عالم ز دانش بی‌نصیب ** حافظ علمست آنکس نه حبیب
  • Oh, there is many a learned man that hath no profit of (his) knowledge: that person is one who commits knowledge to memory, not one who loves (it).
  • مستمع از وی همی‌یابد مشام ** گرچه باشد مستمع از جنس عام

  • زانک پیراهان بدستش عاریه‌ست ** چون بدست آن نخاسی جاریه‌ست 3040
  • Because the shirt in his (the learned man's) hand is a borrowed thing, like a slave-girl in the hands of a slave-dealer.
  • جاریه پیش نخاسی سرسریست ** در کف او از برای مشتریست
  • The slave-girl is useless to the slave-dealer: she is in his hands (only) for the sake of the purchaser.
