  • In the Sea there is no partnership or perplexity; but what can I say to him that sees double? Nothing, nothing.
  • نیست اندر بحر شرک و پیچ پیچ  ** لیک با احول چه گویم هیچ هیچ 
  • Since we are the mates of those who see double, O idolater, ’tis necessary to speak in the fashion of him who attributes a partner (to God).
  • چونک جفت احولانیم ای شمن  ** لازم آید مشرکانه دم زدن 
  • That Unity is beyond description and condition: nothing comes into the arena (domain) of speech except duality.
  • آن یکیی زان سوی وصفست و حال  ** جز دوی ناید به میدان مقال 
  • Either, like the double-seeing man, drink in (absorb and be satisfied with) this duality, or close your mouth and be very silent; 2035
  • یا چو احول این دوی را نوش کن  ** یا دهان بر دوز و خوش خاموش کن 
  • Or (do both) in turns, now silence, now speech: (in the company of the uninitiated) beat the drum like him that sees double, and peace (be with you)!
  • یا به نوبت گه سکوت و گه کلام  ** احولانه طبل می‌زن والسلام 
  • When you see a confidant, declare the mystery of the Spirit: (if) you see the rose, sing loud like nightingales.
  • چون ببینی محرمی گو سر جان  ** گل ببینی نعره زن چون بلبلان 
  • (But) when you see (one who resembles) a water-skin full of deceit and falsehood, shut your lips and make yourself like a (dry-lipped) jar;
  • چون ببینی مشک پر مکر و مجاز  ** لب ببند و خویشتن را خنب ساز 
  • (For) he is an enemy to the water (of spiritual life): in his presence do not move (your lips), else the stone of his ignorance breaks the jar.
  • دشمن آبست پیش او مجنب  ** ورنه سنگ جهل او بشکست خنب 
  • Patiently endure the punishments inflicted by the ignorant man: give him fair words and dissemble (towards him) with the reason that is divinely inspired. 2040
  • با سیاستهای جاهل صبر کن  ** خوش مدارا کن به عقل من لدن 
  • Patience (shown) to the unworthy is the means of polishing (purifying) the worthy: wherever a heart exists, patience purifies it.
