  • Of what Ásaf are thy shoon the abode? One would say that thy sheepskin jacket is the shirt of Joseph.”
  • چارقت ربع کدامین آصفست  ** پوستین گویی که کرته‌ی یوسفست 
  • (This is) like (the case of) the Christian who recounts to his priest a year’s sins––fornication and malice and hypocrisy––
  • هم‌چو ترسا که شمارد با کشش  ** جرم یکساله زنا و غل و غش 
  • In order that the priest may pardon his sins, for he regards his (the priest’s) forgiveness as forgiveness from God.
  • تا بیامرزد کشش زو آن گناه  ** عفو او را عفو داند از اله 
  • The priest has no (real) knowledge of sin and pardon; but love and firm belief are mightily bewitching.
  • نیست آگه آن کشش از جرم و داد  ** لیک بس جادوست عشق و اعتقاد 
  • Love and imagination weave (create) a hundred (forms beautiful as) Joseph: in sooth they are greater sorcerers than Hárút and Márút. 3260
  • دوستی و وهم صد یوسف تند  ** اسحر از هاروت و ماروتست خود 
  • They cause a form (of phantasy) to appear in memory of him (your Beloved): the attraction of the form leads you into (conversation with it).
  • صورتی پیدا کند بر یاد او  ** جذب صورت آردت در گفت و گو 
  • You tell a hundred thousand secrets in the form’s presence, just as a friend speaks (intimately) in the presence of a friend.
  • رازگویی پیش صورت صد هزار  ** آن چنان که یار گوید پیش یار 
  • No (material) form or shape is there; (yet) from it proceed a hundred (utterances of the words) “Am not I (thy Beloved)?” and (from you) a hundred “Yeas.”
  • نه بدانجا صورتی نه هیکلی  ** زاده از وی صد الست و صد بلی 
  • (‘Tis) as when a mother, distraught (with grief) beside the grave of a child newly dead,
  • آن چنان که مادری دل‌برده‌ای  ** پیش گور بچه‌ی نومرده‌ای 
  • Utters heart-felt words earnestly and intensely: the inanimate (corpse) seems to her to be alive. 3265
  • رازها گوید به جد و اجتهاد  ** می‌نماید زنده او را آن جماد
