How Solomon, on whom be peace, sent a threatening message to Bilqís, saying, “Do not think to persist in polytheism and do not make delay.” تهدید فرستادن سلیمان علیه‌السلام پیش بلقیس کی اصرار میندیش بر شرک و تاخیر مکن
هین بیا بلقیس ورنه بد شود
لشکرت خصمت شود مرتد شود
“Hark, Bilqís, come! Else, it will be bad (for thee): thy army will become thine enemy and will revolt.
پرده‌دار تو درت را بر کند
جان تو با تو به جان خصمی کند
Thy chamberlain will destroy thy door: thy soul with (all) its soul will act as an enemy towards thee.”
جمله ذرات زمین و آسمان
لشکر حق‌اند گاه امتحان
All the atoms of earth and heaven are God’s army, (as you will find out) on putting it to the test.
باد را دیدی که با عادان چه کرد
آب را دیدی که در طوفان چه کرد

گر بگوید چشم را کو را فشار
درد چشم از تو بر آرد صد دمار
If He say to the eye, “Squeeze (torture) him,” eye-ache will wreak upon you a hundred vengeances;

کز میان جان کنندم صفدری

که تو بی من نقش گرمابه بدی
When thou hast come to me, thou thyself wilt know that without me thou wert (as) a picture in the bath-house.”
نقش اگر خود نقش سلطان یا غنیست
صورتست از جان خود بی چاشنیست
Even if the picture be the picture of a sultan or a rich man, it is a (mere) form: it has no savour (consciousness) of its own spirit.
زینت او از برای دیگران
باز کرده بیهده چشم و دهان
Its beauty is for others: its eyes and mouth are open in vain.
ای تو در بیگار خود را باخته

یک زمان تنها بمانی تو ز خلق
در غم و اندیشه مانی تا به حلق
(If) you are left alone by people for a single moment, you re main (plunged) up to the throat in grief and anxiety.
این تو کی باشی که تو آن اوحدی
که خوش و زیبا و سرمست خودی
How are you this (form)? You are that Unique One, for (in reality) you are fair and lovely and intoxicated with yourself.
مرغ خویشی صید خویشی دام خویش
صدر خویشی فرش خویشی بام خویش
You are your own bird your own prey, and your own snare; you are your own seat of honour, your own floor, and your own root.

آن عرض باشد که فرع او شدست
The substance is that which subsists in itself; the accident is that which has become a derivative of it (of the substance).

If you are born of Adam, sit like him and behold all your progeny in yourself
چیست اندر خم که اندر نهر نیست
چیست اندر خانه که اندر شهر نیست
