- سر او را چون شناسی راست گو ** گفت من خامش نشینم پیش او
- And make patience a ladder to climb upwards: patience is the key to success.
- صبر را سلم کنم سوی درج ** تا بر آیم صبر مفتاح الفرج
- And if in his presence there should gush from my heart a speech beyond this (realm of) joy and sorrow,

- I know that he has sent it to me from the depths of a soul (illumined) like Canopus (rising) in Yemen. 4915
- من بدانم کو فرستاد آن بمن ** از ضمیر چون سهیل اندر یمن

- در دل من آن سخن زان میمنهست ** زانک از دل جانب دل روزنهست
