  • چونک گفتی کفر من خواست ویست  ** خواست خود را نیز هم می‌دان که هست 
  • Since you have said, ‘My unbelief is willed by Him,’ know that it is also willed by yourself;
  • زانک بی‌خواه تو خود کفر تو نیست  ** کفر بی‌خواهش تناقض گفتنیست  3100
  • For without your will your unbelief does not exist at all: involuntary unbelief is a self-contradiction.
  • امر عاجز را قبیحست و ذمیم  ** خشم بتر خاصه از رب رحیم 
  • ’Tis abominable and blameworthy to lay a command on one incapable (of obeying it); and anger (on account of his disobedience) is worse, especially from the Merciful Lord.
  • گاو گر یوغی نگیرد می‌زنند  ** هیچ گاوی که نپرد شد نژند 
  • An ox is beaten if he refuse the yoke: is an ox (ever) reduced to misery because he will not fly?
  • گاو چون معذور نبود در فضول  ** صاحب گاو از چه معذورست و دول 
  • Since the ox is not excused for frowardness, wherefore is the owner of the ox (to be held) excusable and infirm?
  • چون نه‌ای رنجور سر را بر مبند  ** اختیارت هست بر سبلت مخند 
  • Since you are not ill, don't bandage your head: you have freewill, don't laugh at your moustache.
  • جهد کن کز جام حق یابی نوی  ** بی‌خود و بی‌اختیار آنگه شوی  3105
  • Endeavour to gain freshness (spiritual grace) from God's cup (of love): then you will become selfless and volitionless.
  • آنگه آن می را بود کل اختیار  ** تو شوی معذور مطلق مست‌وار 
  • Then all volition will belong to that Wine, and you will be absolutely excusable, like a drunken man.
  • هرچه گویی گفته‌ی می باشد آن  ** هر چه روبی رفته‌ی می باشد آن 
  • Whatsoever you beat will (then) be beaten by the Wine; whatsoever you sweep away will (then) be swept away by the Wine.
  • کی کند آن مست جز عدل و صواب  ** که ز جام حق کشیدست او شراب 
  • The drunken man who has quaffed wine from God's cup— how should he do aught but justice and right?
