غزل شمارهٔ 29–ما از خدای گم شده‌ایم او به جستجوست

We are gone astray from God; he is searching upon the road, for like us, He is need entire and the prisoner of desire.

غزل شمارهٔ 40–نور تو وانمود سپید و سیاه را

Thy light defineth all things one by one: black, white, sea, mountain, valley, moon and sun;

غزل شمارهٔ 47–خاور که آسمان بکمند خیال اوست

The East, that holds the heavens fast within the noose its fancy cast, its spirit’s bonds are all united, the flames of its desire have died.

غزل شمارهٔ 68–صورت گری که پیکر روز و شب آفرید

The Artist, Whose vast mind both day and night designed, engraving these, displays upon Himself His gaze.

غزل شمارهٔ 71–هنگامه را که بست درین دیر دیر پای

Whence hath this commotion swirled in our old, slow-moving world that each girdled infidel like a reed of grief doth tell?

غزل شمارهٔ 72–ای لاله ای چراغ کهستان و باغ و راغ

Tulip in the mountains blowing, lamp in mead and garden glowing, gaze on me, for I will give guidance on the way to live.
