  • 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
  • When the lover (of God) is fed from (within) himself with pure wine, there reason becomes lost, lost, O comrade.

  • عقل جزوی عشق را منکر بود ** گر چه بنماید که صاحب سر بود
  • It is clever and knowing, but it is not naught (devoid of self-existence): until the angel has become naught, he is an Ahriman (Devil).
  • زیرک و داناست اما نیست نیست ** تا فرشته لا نشد اهریمنی است‌‌
  • It (partial reason) is our friend in word and deed, (but) when you come to the case of inward feeling (ecstasy), it is naught (of no account).
  • 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
  • The Spirit is perfection and its call is perfection: Mustafá (Mohammed) used to say, “Refresh us, O Bilál!

  • O Bilál, lift up thy mellifluous voice (drawn) from that breath which I breathed into thy heart,
  • ای بلال افراز بانگ سلسلت ** ز آن دمی کاندر دمیدم در دلت‌‌
  • From that breath by which Adam was dumbfounded and the wits of the people of Heaven were made witless.”
  • ز آن دمی کادم از آن مدهوش گشت ** هوش اهل آسمان بی‌‌هوش گشت‌‌
