  • The true believer is the fountain of that water of mercy: the pure spirit of the well-doer is the Water of Life.
  • چشمه‏ی آن آب رحمت مومن است ** آب حیوان روح پاک محسن است‏
  • Hence your fleshly soul is fleeing mightily from him, because you are of fire, (while) he (is) the water of the stream.
  • بس گریزان است نفس تو از او ** ز انکه تو از آتشی او آب جو
  • Fire becomes fleeing from water for the reason that its fire (flame and heat) is ruined by water. 1255
  • ز آب آتش ز آن گریزان می‏شود ** کاتشش از آب ویران می‏شود
  • Your sense and thought are wholly of the fire; the sense of the Shaykh (spiritual guide) and his thought are the beauteous Light.
  • حس و فکر تو همه از آتش است ** حس شیخ و فکر او نور خوش است‏
  • When the water of his light trickles on the fire, chak chak (a gnashing sound) rises from the fire, and it leaps up (in fury).
  • آب نور او چو برآتش چکد ** چک چک از آتش بر آید بر جهد
  • When it makes (the sound) chak chak, say you to it, “Death and woe (to thee),” in order that this hell, (which is) your fleshly soul, may become cold (quenched),
  • چون کند چک چک تو گویش مرگ و درد ** تا شود این دوزخ نفس تو سرد
  • So that it may not burn your rose-garden, so that it may not burn your justice and well doing.
  • تا نسوزد او گلستان تو را ** تا نسوزد عدل و احسان تو را
  • After that, anything that you sow will yield fruit (or flowers); it will yield anemones and wild roses and thyme. 1260
  • بعد از آن چیزی که کاری بردهد ** لاله و نسرین و سیسنبردهد
  • Once more we are going wide of the straight way: turn back, O master—where is our way?
  • باز پهنا می‏رویم از راه راست ** باز گرد ای خواجه راه ما کجاست‏
  • We were (engaged) in showing, O envious one, that your ass is lame and the place of alighting (journey's end) far off, (so you must be) quick.
  • اندر آن تقریر بودیم ای حسود ** که خرت لنگ است و منزل دور زود
