  • سرالناس معادن داد دست  ** که رسول آن را پی چه گفته است 
  • The secret of ‘men are mines’ has yielded itself (to me), so that (I know the reason) why the Prophet has said it.
  • من ز خاک تن بدانم کاندر آن  ** چند نقدست و چه دارد او ز کان 
  • From (smelling) the earth of the body I know how much good ore is (hidden) therein and what (sort of) mine it holds.
  • در یکی کان زر بی‌اندازه درج  ** وان دگر دخلش بود کمتر ز خرج 
  • In one mine is contained gold immeasurable, while (in the case of) another the revenue (derived) from it is less than the expenditure (cost of working it).
  • هم‌چو مجنون بو کنم من خاک را  ** خاک لیلی را بیابم بی‌خطا 
  • Like Majnún, I smell the soil and detect the soil (abode) of Laylá without mistake.
  • بو کنم دانم ز هر پیراهنی  ** گر بود یوسف و گر آهرمنی  2830
  • I smell and know from (the scent of) every shirt whether ’tis (belongs to) a Joseph or an Ahriman (devil).
  • هم‌چو احمد که برد بو از یمن  ** زان نصیبی یافت این بینی من 
  • Like Ahmad (Mohammed), who catches scent from Yemen, this nose of mine has gained (been endowed with) some portion of that (spiritual faculty),
  • که کدامین خاک همسایه‌ی زرست  ** یا کدامین خاک صفر و ابترست 
  • (So that I can smell) which soil is a neighbour of gold, or which soil is empty and poor.”
  • گفت یک نک خاصیت در پنجه‌ام  ** که کمندی افکنم طول علم 
  • Another said, “Look here, my specialty lies in my fist: I can throw a lasso to the height of a mountain,
  • هم‌چو احمد که کمند انداخت جانش  ** تا کمندش برد سوی آسمانش 
  • Like Ahmad (Mohammed), whose spirit threw a lasso so (high) that his lasso bore him to Heaven,
  • گفت حقش ای کمندانداز بیت  ** آن ز من دان ما رمیت اذ رمیت  2835
  • And God said to him, ‘O thrower of the lasso (of thy aspiration) at the (celestial) House, deem that (act of throwing) to be from Me: thou didst not throw when thou threwest.’”
