  • آن دروگر حاکم چوبی بود  ** وآن مصور حاکم خوبی بود

  • هست آهنگر بر آهن قیمی  ** هست بنا هم بر آلت حاکمی

  • نادر این باشد که چندین اختیار  ** ساجد اندر اختیارش بنده‌وار

  • قدرتش بر اختیارات آنچنان  ** نفی نکند اختیاری را از آن

  • زانک بی‌خواه تو خود کفر تو نیست  ** کفر بی‌خواهش تناقض گفتنیست
