  • 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 
  • She regards that dust as living and erect, she regards that rubbish as (having) an eye and an ear.
  • حی و قایم داند او آن خاک را  ** چشم و گوشی داند او خاشاک را 
  • To her, at the moment when she is crazed (with grief), every atom of the earth in the grave seems to have hearing and intelligence.
  • پیش او هر ذره‌ی آن خاک گور  ** گوش دارد هوش دارد وقت شور 
  • She believes with all her might that the earth is hearkening (to her): look well at this Love that works magic!
  • مستمع داند به جد آن خاک را  ** خوش نگر این عشق ساحرناک را 
  • Fondly and with tears she lays her face, time after time, on the fresh earth of the grave in such wise
  • آنچنان بر خاک گور تازه او  ** دم‌بدم خوش می‌نهد با اشک رو 
  • As during his life she never laid her face on the son who was so dear to her; 3270
  • که بوقت زندگی هرگز چنان  ** روی ننهادست بر پور چو جان 
  • (But) when some days pass in mourning, the fire of her love sinks to rest.
  • از عزا چون چند روزی بگذرد  ** آتش آن عشق او ساکن شود 
  • Love for the dead is not lasting: keep your love (fixed) on the Living One who increases spiritual life.
  • عشق بر مرده نباشد پایدار  ** عشق را بر حی جان‌افزای دار
