حکیمان گرچه صد پیکر شکستند
1
حکیمان گرچه صد پیکر شکستند
مقیم سومنات بود و هستند

Though philosophers have shattered countless forms they've sought —

In the Somnath of existence, still they're caught.

2
چسان افرشته و یزدان بگیرند
هنوز آدم به فتراکی نبستند

How can they capture angels and God in their thought —

When even Adam escapes the snares they've wrought?
