  • Flapping their wings, secure from falling back headlong, (soaring) in the (spiritual) air and saying, “Verily unto Him we are returning.”

  • (While) the houris amorously and fondly say, ‘These Súfís have returned from their travels.
  • حوریان گشته مغمز مهربان  ** کز سفر باز آمدند این صوفیان 
  • The Súfís pure as the light of the sun, who for a long time had fallen into (the world of) earth and filth,

  • Have (now) come back stainless and undefiled, as the sunlight to the lofty orb (of the sun).’”

  • چونک مستم کرده‌ای حدم مزن  ** شرع مستان را نبیند حد زدن 
  • Inflict it (only) at the time when I become sober; for indeed I shall never become sober (again).
  • چون شوم هشیار آنگاهم بزن  ** که نخواهم گشت خود هشیار من

  • هرکه از جام تو خورد ای ذوالمنن  ** تا ابد رست از هش و از حد زدن
