  • آن خدایی کز خیالی باغ ساخت ** وز خیالی دوزخ و جای گداخت
  • That Lord who hath made from one fancy the garden (of Paradise), and from one fancy Hell and the place of melting (torment)—
  • پس کی داند راه گلشنهای او ** پس کی داند جای گلخنهای او 3045
  • Then who (but He) should know the way to His roseries? Then who (but He) should know the way to His furnaces?
