  • It is higher than feminine and masculine: this is not that spirit which is composed of dryness and moisture.

  • When thou art (made) sweet by sugar, it may be that at some time that sugar will vanish from thee;
  • چون تو شیرین از شکر باشی بود ** کان شکر گاهی ز تو غایب شود
  • (But) when thou becomest sugar from the effect produced by faithfulness, then how should sugar be parted from sugar? 1980
  • چون شکر گردی ز تاثیر وفا ** پس شکر کی از شکر باشد جدا

  • او به قول و فعل یار ما بود ** چون به حکم حال آیی لا بود
  • It is naught because it did not (pass away) from existence and become nonexistent: since it did not become naught willingly, (it must become naught nevertheless, for) there is many a one (who became naught, i.e. died) unwillingly. 1985
  • لا بود چون او نشد از هست نیست ** چون که طوعا لا نشد کرها بسی است‌‌
