  • The first time by way of conformity and affectation, because he sees the company laughing.
  • بار اول از ره تقلید و سوم  ** که همی‌بیند که می‌خندند قوم 
  • The deaf man laughs then like them, without knowing the (inward) state of the laughers. 1275
  • کر بخندد هم‌چو ایشان آن زمان  ** بیخبر از حالت خندندگان 
  • Afterwards he inquires what the laughter was about, and then, having heard, he laughs a second time.
  • باز وا پرسد که خنده بر چه بود  ** پس دوم کرت بخندد چون شنود 
  • Hence the mere imitator (of a Shaykh), too, resembles the deaf man in respect of the (feeling of) joy that is in his head.
  • پس مقلد نیز مانند کرست  ** اندر آن شادی که او را در سرست

  • When it (the basket) is separated from the river, that perverse one will recognise that the sweet water within it was from the river; 1280
  • چون جدا گردد ز جو داند عنود  ** که اندرو آن آب خوش از جوی بود 
  • The glass also will recognise, at the setting (of the moon), that those beams (of light) were from the beauteous shining moon.
  • آبگینه هم بداند از غروب  ** که آن لمع بود از مه تابان خوب 
  • When the (Divine) command “Arise!” opens his (the imitator's) eye, then he will laugh, like the (true) dawn, a second time.
  • چونک چشمش را گشاید امر قم  ** پس بخندد چون سحر بار دوم 
  • He will even laugh at his own (former) laughter which was produced in him in that (period of) imitation,
  • خنده‌ش آید هم بر آن خنده‌ی خودش  ** که در آن تقلید بر می‌آمدش
