- Lo, thou hast made my bird fly away. Do not browse (any more) in the pasture of injustice! 1705
- نک بپرانیده ای مرغ مرا ** در چراگاه ستم کم کن چرا
- Either answer me or give redress or mention to me (what will be) the means of (producing) joy.
- یا جواب من بگو یا داد ده ** یا مرا ز اسباب شادی یاد ده
- Oh, alas for my darkness-consuming light! Oh, alas for my day-enkindling dawn!
- ای دریغا نور ظلمت سوز من ** ای دریغا صبح روز افروز من
- Oh, alas for my bird of goodly flight, that has flown from my end (my last state) to my beginning (my first state).
- ای دریغا مرغ خوش پرواز من ** ز انتها پریده تا آغاز من
- The ignorant man is in love with pain unto everlasting. Arise and read (in the Qur’án) I swear as far as (the words) in trouble.
- عاشق رنج است نادان تا ابد ** خیز لا أقسم بخوان تا فی کبد
- With thy face I was free from trouble, and in thy river I was unsoiled by froth. 1710
- از کبد فارغ بدم با روی تو ** وز زبد صافی بدم در جوی تو
- These cries of ‘Alas’ are (caused by) the phantasy (idea) of seeing (the Beloved) and (by) separation from my present existence.
- این دریغاها خیال دیدن است ** وز وجود نقد خود ببریدن است
- ’Twas the jealousy of God, and there is no device against God: where is a heart that is not (shattered) in a hundred pieces by God's love?
- غیرت حق بود و با حق چاره نیست ** کو دلی کز حکم حق صد پاره نیست
- The jealousy (of God) is this, that He is other than all things, that He is beyond explanation and the noise of words.
- غیرت آن باشد که او غیر همه ست ** آن که افزون از بیان و دمدمه ست
- Oh, alas! Would that my tears were an ocean, that they might be strewn as an offering to the fair charmer!
- ای دریغا اشک من دریا بدی ** تا نثار دل بر زیبا بدی
