Whom love may make lighter, even than a feather,
Consider that person heavier than the mountain of Kaf.

When, with the ashes of abjectness, it shall become daubed,
The mirror of their hearts, shall clear, and bright become.

Though the fool may prate and vapour before the wise;
The roasting grain will not, in the least, crack the pan.

With eyes that see, and ears that hear, thou showest thy malice:
Art thou not, unto the breath and footstep of the Messiah, blind?

If a person shut not his eyes, purposely, on what is unlawful,
The stranger's shoes can be easily recognised upon his feet.

Since Hamid stretcheth forth his hand to the chin of the beloved,
O! would that the branch of the willow did apples yield!
