  • (Where) a hundred groves come (are offered) to thee in exchange for one seed, a hundred mines in exchange for one groat?
  • دانه‌ای را صد درختستان عوض ** حبه‌ای را آمدت صد کان عوض
  • Kána lilláh is the giving of that groat, in order that kána ’lláh lahú may come into (thy) hand;
  • کان لله دادن آن حبه است ** تا که کان‌الله له آید به دست
  • For this weak unstable hú (personality) was brought into being by the steadfast (permanent) hú of the Lord.
  • زآنک این هوی ضعیف بی‌قرار ** هست شد زان هوی رب پایدار
  • When the hú that passes away has surrendered itself to Him, it becomes everlasting and never dies. 2615
  • هوی فانی چونک خود فا او سپرد ** گشت باقی دایم و هرگز نمرد
  • (’Tis) like a drop of water (which is) afraid of wind (air) and earth; for by means of these twain it is made to pass away (and perish.
  • هم‌چو قطره‌ی خایف از باد و ز خاک ** که فنا گردد بدین هر دو هلاک
  • When it has leaped (thrown itself) into the sea, which was its source, it is delivered from the heat of the sun and from wind and earth.
  • چون به اصل خود که دریا بود جست ** از تف خورشید و باد و خاک رست
  • Its outward form has disappeared in the sea, but its essence is inviolate and permanent and goodly.
  • ظاهرش گم گشت در دریا و لیک ** ذات او معصوم و پا بر جا و نیک
  • Hark, O (thou who art like a) drop, give thyself up without repenting, that in recompense for the drop thou mayst gain the Ocean.
  • هین بده ای قطره خود را بی‌ندم ** تا بیابی در بهای قطره یم
  • Hark, O drop, bestow on thyself this honour, and in the hand of the Sea become safe from destruction. 2620
  • هین بده ای قطره خود را این شرف ** در کف دریا شو آمن از تلف
  • Whom indeed should fortune like this befall? A Sea has become the suitor for a drop.
  • خود کرا آید چنین دولت به دست ** قطره‌ای را بحری تقاضاگر شدست
