  • آنچنان نزدیک بنماید ورا ** که دویدن گرد بالوعه‌ی سرا
  • To him it seems as near (and easy) as to run round the sink (in the court) of a house.
  • آن هزاران گز دو گز بنمایدش ** تا ز مستی میل جستن آیدش
  • Those thousands of ells (are made to) appear to him (as) two ells, in order that from mad infatuation the impulse to leap may come to him.
  • چونک بجهد در فتد اندر میان ** در میان هر دو کوه بی امان
  • As soon as he leaps, he falls midway between the two pitiless mountains.
  • او ز صیادان به که بگریخته ** خود پناهش خون او را ریخته 815
  • He had fled to the mountain (to escape) from the hunters: his very refuge shed his blood.
  • شسته صیادان میان آن دو کوه ** انتظار این قضای با شکوه
  • The hunters are seated between the two mountains in expectation of this awesome decree (of God).
  • باشد اغلب صید این بز همچنین ** ورنه چالاکست و چست و خصم‌بین
  • The capture of this (mountain-)goat is, for the most part, (accomplished) in this manner; else (it would be difficult, for) he is agile and nimble and quick to see the enemy.
  • رستم ارچه با سر و سبلت بود ** دام پاگیرش یقین شهوت بود
  • Though Rustam have (a huge) head and moustache, lust will certainly be the snare to catch his feet.
  • همچو من از مستی شهوت ببر ** مستی شهوت ببین اندر شتر
  • Be cut off, like me, from the intoxication of lust: look at the intoxication of lust in the camel!
  • باز این مستی شهوت در جهان ** پیش مستی ملک دان مستهان 820
  • Know, again, that this intoxication of lust in the (terrestrial) world is (to be) deemed of small account beside the intoxication of the angels.
  • مستی آن مستی این بشکند ** او به شهوت التفاتی کی کند
  • The intoxication of that one (the angel) breaks (reduces to insignificance) the intoxication of this one (the human being): how should he (the angel) show any propensity to lust?
