  • عشق مستسقیست مستسقی‌طلب  ** در پی هم این و آن چون روز و شب  2675
  • Love craves to drink and seeks him who craves to drink: this (Love) and that (lover) are at each other's heels, like Day and Night.
  • روز بر شب عاشقست و مضطرست  ** چون ببینی شب برو عاشق‌ترست 
  • Day is in love with Night and has lost control of itself; when you look (inwardly), (you will see that) Night is (even) more in love with it.
  • نیستشان از جست‌وجو یک لحظه‌ایست  ** از پی همشان یکی دم ایست نیست 
  • Never for one instant do they cease from seeking; never for one moment do they cease from pursuing each other.
  • این گرفته پای آن آن گوش این  ** این بر آن مدهوش و آن بی‌هوش این 
  • This one has caught the foot of that one, and that one the ear of this one: this one is distraught with that one, and that one is beside itself for this one.
  • در دل معشوق جمله عاشق است  ** در دل عذرا همیشه وامق است 
  • In the heart of the beloved the lover is all: Wámiq is always in the heart of ‘Adhrá.
  • در دل عاشق به جز معشوق نیست  ** در میانشان فارق و فاروق نیست  2680
  • In the lover's heart is naught but the beloved: there is nothing to separate and divide them.
  • بر یکی اشتر بود این دو درا  ** پس چه زر غبا بگنجد این دو را 
  • These two bells are on one camel: how, then, in regard to these twain should (the injunction), “Visit once a week,” be admissible?
  • هیچ کس با خویش زر غبا نمود  ** هیچ کس با خود به نوبت یار بود 
  • Did any one (ever) pay recurring visits to himself? Was any one (ever) a companion to himself at regular intervals?
  • آن یکیی نه که عقلش فهم کرد  ** فهم این موقوف شد بر مرگ مرد 
  • That (of which I speak) is not the (sort of) oneness that reason apprehends: the apprehension of this (oneness) depends on a man's dying (to self);
  • ور به عقل ادراک این ممکن بدی  ** قهر نفس از بهر چه واجب شدی 
  • And if it were possible to perceive this (oneness) by means of reason, wherefore should self-violence have become a duty?
