تو چرا بیدار کردی مر مرا
دشمن بیداریی تو ای دغا
Why did you awaken me? You are the enemy of wakefulness, O trickster.
همچو خشخاشی همه خواب آوری
همچو خمری عقل و دانش را بری‏
You are like poppy-seeds: you put every one to sleep. You are like wine: you take away understanding and knowledge.
چار میخت کرده‏ام هین راست گو
راست را دانم تو حیلتها مجو
I have impaled you. Come, tell the truth, I know what is true: do not seek evasions.
من ز هر کس آن طمع دارم که او
صاحب آن باشد اندر طبع و خو
I expect from every person (only) that of which by nature and disposition he is the owner.
من ز سرکه می‏نجویم شکری
مر مخنث را نگیرم لشکری‏
I do not look for any sugar from vinegar; I do not take the catamite for a soldier.
همچو گبران من نجویم از بتی
کاو بود حق یا خود از حق آیتی‏
I do not, like (idolatrous) infidels, seek (expect) from an idol that it should be God or even a sign from God.
من ز سرگین می‏نجویم بوی مشک
من در آب جو نجویم خشت خشک‏
I do not seek the smell of musk from dung; I do not seek dry bricks in river water.
من ز شیطان این نجویم کاوست غیر
که مرا بیدار گرداند به خیر
From Satan, who is other (than good), I do not look for this that he should awaken me with good (intent).”
