غزل شماره ۱۸۱: دل چو دانه، ما مثال آسیا

The heart, like our grain, is an example of the millstone

The millstone, how does it know why this turning?

دل چو دانه ما مثال آسیا

آسیا کی داند این گردش چرا

The body is like the stone, and its water is thoughts

The stone says, the water knows the story

تن چو سنگ و آب او اندیشه‌ها

سنگ گوید آب داند ماجرا

The water says, ask the miller

Who cast this water into the lowlands

آب گوید آسیابان را بپرس

کو فکند اندر نشیب این آب را

The miller will say to you, O bread eater

If this does not turn, what will become of the bread?

آسیابان گویدت کای نان خوار

گر نگردد این که باشد نانبا

از خدا واپرس تا گوید تو را
