مهر مومش حاکی انگشتری است ** باز آن نقش نگین حاکی کیست‏

مهر مومش حاکی انگشتری است ** باز آن نقش نگین حاکی کیست‏ 1325

The seal impressed on his wax is telling of the seal-ring; of whom, again, does the device tell, (which is) graven on the stone of the ring?

حاکی اندیشه‏ی آن زرگر است ** سلسله‏ی هر حلقه اندر دیگر است‏

It tells of the thought of the Goldsmith—(all this) is a chain, every link (inserted) in another.

Whose voice is this echo in the mountains of (our) hearts? Sometimes this mountain is full of the voice, sometimes it is empty.

Wheresoever he is, he is the Sage, the Master—may his voice not forsake this mountain!

هست که کاوا مثنا می‏کند ** هست که کآواز صد تا می‏کند

چون ز کوه آن لطف بیرون می‏شود ** آبها در چشمه‏ها خون می‏شود

Inasmuch as that grace emanates (even) from the mountain, the waters in the springs become blood.

ز آن شهنشاه همایون نعل بود ** که سراسر طور سینا لعل بود

’Twas on account of that monarch of auspicious gait that Mount Sinai was (turned to) rubies from end to end.

جان پذیرفت و خرد اجزای کوه ** ما کم از سنگیم آخر ای گروه‏

(All) the parts of the mountain received life and intelligence— after all, are we inferior to stone, O people?

نه ز جان یک چشمه جوشان می‏شود ** نه بدن از سبز پوشان می‏شود

Neither is there gushing from the soul a single spring, nor is the body becoming one of those clad in green;
