  • He said (to himself), “Of necessity the dregs have a pure (essence): by means of this indication the heart advances to purity.”
  • گفت لابد درد را صافی بود  ** زین دلالت دل به صفوت می‌رود 
  • The dregs are difficulty and their pure (essence) is their ease: the pure (essence) is like the ripe date, and the dregs (are like) the date in its immature stage. 360

  • روح خواهی جبه بشکاف ای پسر  ** تا از آن صفوت برآری زود سر

  • دور باش غیرتت آمد خیال  ** گرد بر گرد سراپرده‌ی جمال 
  • It (fancy) bars every seeker, saying, “There is no way (admission)”: every fancy confronts him (the seeker) and says “Stop!”—
  • بسته هر جوینده را که راه نیست  ** هر خیالش پیش می‌آید بیست 
  • Except, indeed, that person of sharp hearing and keen intelligence who possesses enthusiasm (derived) from the host of His (God's) helps (to victory).
  • جز مگر آن تیزکوش تیزهوش  ** کش بود از جیش نصرتهاش جوش 
  • He does not recoil from the fancies (which bar the way) nor is he checked: he shows the King's arrow (token); then way is made (for him to enter). 370

  • جرعه‌ای بر ریختی زان خفیه جام  ** بر زمین خاک من کاس الکرام 
  • From the draught thereof there is a trace on the locks and cheeks (of the fair): hence kings lick the earth (of which the bodies of the fair are made).

  • ’Tis the draught of (Divine) beauty—(mingled) in the lovely earth—that thou art kissing with a hundred hearts day and night.
  • جرعه حسنست اندر خاک گش  ** که به صد دل روز و شب می‌بوسیش
