214 ورزان را همین باشد نشان صدق کز پی جانان به کف دارند جان The sign of the truthful ones is indeed that, They are ready and willing at all times to sacrifice their life for the sake of the Beloved. نظر دلبر صورت در دوخته خبر بی ِّ مردم سَب و ثنا وز They gaze upon the face of their Beloved fixedly, Unaware of the praise or criticism of people. اند ها بسته کار عقبی با عمل اند هاکهبهرشخسته رستهآندل The affairs of the Hereafter are dependent on deeds— Those hearts attain salvation who are prepared to suffer injury for the sake of God. ها کی شود این کار و بار از سخن باید که تا آید نگار صدق می This is not achieved by mere talking; Sincerity is needed to attain God. علم را عالم بتی دارد به راه ها کند شام و پگاه بت پرستی The scholars have made their knowledge an idol, And they are occupied in idol worship morn and eve. گر به علم خشک کار دین بدی بدی دین رازدار لییمی هر If religion was dependent on mere dry knowledge, Then every unworthy person would have been intimately acquainted with the secrets of the Faith.
