  • طبع تیز دوربین محترف ** چون خر پیرش ببین آخر خرف
  • The acute, far-seeing, artful genius—behold it at last imbecile as an old ass.
  • زلف جعد مشکبار عقل‌بر ** آخرا چون دم زشت خنگ خر
  • The curly lock that sheds (a fragrance of) musk and takes away the reason—at last it is like the ugly white tail of a donkey.
  • خوش ببین کونش ز اول باگشاد ** وآخر آن رسواییش بین و فساد
  • Observe its (the World's) existence, (how) at first (it is) pleasing and joyous; and observe its shamefulness and corruption in the end;
  • زانک او بنمود پیدا دام را ** پیش تو بر کند سبلت خام را 1610
  • For it showed the snare plainly: it plucked out the fool's moustache in thy presence.
  • پس مگو دنیا به تزویرم فریفت ** ورنه عقل من ز دامش می‌گریخت
  • Do not say, then, “The World deceived me by its imposture; otherwise, my reason would have fled from its snare.”

  • Reckon every particle of the World (to be) like this: bring its beginning and its end into consideration.
  • هر که آخربین‌تر او مسعودتر ** هر که آخربین‌تر او مطرودتر

  • تا نباشی هم‌چو ابلیس اعوری ** نیم بیند نیم نی چون ابتری
  • Lest thou become a man blind of one eye, like Iblís: he, like a person docked (deprived of perfect sight), sees (the one) half and not (the other) half.
