If you do not desire (to suffer a) relapse in the presence of this Physician, dash to the ground your gold (zar) and your head (sar), O man of understanding.
گر نخواهی نکس پیش این طبیب ** بر زمین زن زر و سر را ای لبیب
Sell your superfluous speech and buy sacrifice of life and sacrifice of position and sacrifice of gold,
گفت افزون را تو بفروش و بخر ** بذل جان و بذل جاه و بذل زر
That the grace of Him (Hú) may utter praise of you, so that Heaven will be envious of your high estate.
تا ثنای تو بگوید فضل هو ** که حسد آرد فلک بر جاه تو
When ye have regard for the hearts (feelings and wishes) of the physicians, ye will see yourselves and will become ashamed of yourselves.2730
چون طبیبان را نگه دارید دل ** خود ببینید و شوید ازخود خجل
’Tis not in the power of created beings to remove this blindness, but the honouring of the physicians (by you) is from Divine guidance.
دفع این کوری بدست خلق نیست ** لیک اکرام طبیبان از هدیست
Become devoted to these physicians with (all your) soul, that ye may be filled with musk and ambergris.
این طبیبان را به جان بنده شوید ** تا به مشک و عنبر آکنده شوید

متهم داشتن قوم انبیا را
The people said, “All this is fraud and deceit: how should God make a vicar of Zayd and Bakr?
قوم گفتند این همه زرقست و مکر ** کی خدا نایب کند از زید و بکر
Every king's messenger must be of his (the king's) kind: where are water and clay in comparison with the Creator of the heavens?
هر رسول شاه باید جنس او ** آب و گل کو خالق افلاک کو
Have we eaten ass's brains that we, like you, should deem a gnat to be the confidant of the humá?2735
مغز خر خوردیم تا ما چون شما ** پشه را داریم همراز هما
Where is a gnat in comparison with the humá? Where is earth in comparison with God? What relation to the mote has the sun in the sky?
کو هما کو پشه کو گل کو خدا ** ز آفتاب چرخ چه بود ذره را
