چون دل آن آب زینها خالیست
1

چون دل آن آب زینها خالیست

عکس روها از برون در آب جست

(Only) when the heart of that water is void of these (defilements), does the reflexion of the (inward) aspects (of all things) dart into the water.

2

پس ترا باطن مصفا ناشده

خانه پر از دیو و نسناس و دده

Therefore, unless your interior has been purified, (and while) the (heart's) house is full of demons and monsters and wild beasts,

3

ای خری ز استیزه مانده در خری

کی ز ارواح مسیحی بو بری

O ass who have obstinately remained in asininity, how will you get scent of (apprehend) the (life-giving) breaths which resemble those of the Messiah?

4

کی شناسی گر خیالی سر کند

کز کدامین مکمنی سر بر کند

If a phantasy appear (in your heart), how will you know from what hiding-place it springs forth?

5

چون خیالی می‌شود در زهد تن

تا خیالات از درونه روفتن

Ere (all) phantasies are swept from the inward part, the body will become (insubstantial) as a phantasy in (consequence of) renunciation.
