  • بازوش بست و گرفت آن نیش او  ** بانک بر زد در زمان آن عشق‌خو 
  • And bandaged his arm and took the lancet (to perform the operation); (but) straightway that passionate lover cried out,
  • مزد خود بستان و ترک فصد کن  ** گر بمیرم گو برو جسم کهن 
  • “Take thy fee and leave the bleeding! If I die, let my old body go (to the grave)!”
  • گفت آخر از چه می‌ترسی ازین  ** چون نمی‌ترسی تو از شیر عرین  2005
  • “Why,” said he, “wherefore art thou afraid of this, when thou hast no fear of the lion of the jungle?
  • شیر و گرگ و خرس و هر گور و دده  ** گرد بر گرد تو شب گرد آمده 
  • Lions and wolves and bears and onagers and (other) wild animals gather around thee by night;
  • می نه آیدشان ز تو بوی بشر  ** ز انبهی عشق و وجد اندر جگر 
  • The smell of man does not come to them from thee because of the abundance of love and ecstasy in thy heart.”
  • گرگ و خرس و شیر داند عشق چیست  ** کم ز سگ باشد که از عشق او عمیست 
  • Wolf and bear and lion know what love is: he that is blind to love is inferior to a dog.
  • گر رگ عشقی نبودی کلب را  ** کی بجستی کلب کهفی قلب را

  • بو نبردی تو دل اندر جنس خویش  ** کی بری تو بوی دل از گرگ و میش 
  • You have not smelt (discerned) the heart in your own kind: how should you smell the heart in wolf and sheep?
  • گر نبودی عشق هستی کی بدی  ** کی زدی نان بر تو و کی تو شدی 
  • If there had not been Love, how should there have been existence? How should bread have attached itself to you and become (assimilated to) you?
