  • Since sleep is banished by fear for one’s cloak, how should the sleep of forgetfulness be (possible when accompanied) with fear for one’s throat? 4100
  • خواب چون در می‌رمد از بیم دلق  ** خواب نسیان کی بود با بیم حلق 
  • (The text) do not punish (us) if we forget is evidence that forgetfulness too, in a certain way, is sinful,
  • لاتاخذ ان نسینا شد گواه  ** که بود نسیان بوجهی هم گناه 
  • Because he (who was forgetful) did not attain to complete reverence, or else forgetfulness would not have assailed him
  • زانک استکمال تعظیم او نکرد  ** ورنه نسیان در نیاوردی نبرد 
  • Although (his) forgetfulness was necessary and inevitable, (yet) he was a free agent in employing the means (by which it was produced);
  • گرچه نسیان لابد و ناچار بود  ** در سبب ورزیدن او مختار بود 
  • For he showed remissness in his  feelings of reverence, so that forgetfulness was born or negligence and trespass.
  • که تهاون کرد در تعظیمها  ** تا که نسیان زاد یا سهو و خطا 
  • (‘Tis) like (the case of) the drunken man who commits sins and says, “I was excused from (responsibility for) myself” 4105
  • هم‌چو مستی کو جنایتها کند  ** گوید او معذور بودم من ز خود 
  • “But,” says he (the other) to him, “the cause (of your sin), (consisting) in the loss of that power to choose, proceeded from you, O evil-doer.
  • گویدش لیکن سبب ای زشتکار  ** از تو بد در رفتن آن اختیار 
  • Your senselessness did not come of itself, you invited it; your power to choose did not go of itself, you drove it away.
  • بی‌خودی نامد بخود تش خواندی  ** اختیارت خود نشد تش راندی 
  • If an intoxication had come (upon you) without exertion on your part, the spiritual Cup-bearer would have kept your covenant (inviolate).
  • گر رسیدی مستی بی‌جهد تو  ** حفظ کردی ساقی جان عهد تو 
  • He would have been your backer and intercessor: I am devoted to the sin of him who is intoxicated by God.”
  • پشت‌دارت بودی او و عذرخواه  ** من غلام زلت مست اله 
  • (Ayáz said), “The forgivenesses of the whole world are (but) a mote—the reflexion of thy forgiveness, O thou from whom comes, every fortune. 4110
  • عفوهای جمله عالم ذره‌ای  ** عکس عفوت ای ز تو هر بهره‌ای 
  • (All) forgivenesses sing the praise of thy forgiveness: there is no peer to it. O people, beware (of comparing it)!
  • عفوها گفته ثنای عفو تو  ** نیست کفوش ایها الناس اتقوا 
  • Grant them their lives, neither banish them from thyself: they are (the objects of) thy sweet desire, O thou who bringest (all thy) desire to fruition.
  • جانشان بخش و ز خودشان هم مران  ** کام شیرین تو اند ای کامران 
  • Have mercy on him that beheld thy face: how shall he endure the bitter separation from thee?
  • رحم کن بر وی که روی تو بدید  ** فرقت تلخ تو چون خواهد کشید

  • صد هزاران مرگ تلخ شصت تو  ** نیست مانند فراق روی تو 
  • Keep the bitterness of banishment aloof from males and females, O thou whose help is besought by sinners!
  • تلخی هجر از ذکور و از اناث  ** دور دار ای مجرمان را مستغاث 
  • ‘Tis sweet to die in hope of union with thee; the bitterness of banishment from thee is worse than fire.”
  • بر امید وصل تو مردن خوشست  ** تلخی هجر تو فوق آتشست 
  • Amidst Hell-fire the infidel is saying, “What pain should I feel if He (God) were to look on me (with favour)?”
  • گبر می‌گوید میان آن سقر  ** چه غمم بودی گرم کردی نظر 
  • For that look makes (all) pains sweet: it is the blood-price (paid) to the magicians (of Pharaoh) for (the amputation of) their hands and feet.
