Ghazal No. 377: For those who end in foolishness

غزل شماره ۳۷۷: آن را که در آخرش خری هست

He who has an ass at his end

Has a guide for circumambulation

آن را که در آخرش خری هست

او را به طواف رهبری هست

The market of the world is established for earning

From this door, there is all scratching and fleeing

بازار جهان به کسب برپاست

زین در همه خارش وگری هست

Until their scratching drags them

Wherever there is tumult or evil

تا خارششان همی‌کشاند

هر جای که شور یا شری هست

He settles in a shell in the sea

He who has a jewel within

در یم صدفی قرار گیرد

کو را به درونه گوهری هست

But a shell that has no pearl

There is a passage in seeking its pearl

اما صدفی که در ندارد

در جستن درش معبری هست

Sometimes in the sea and sometimes towards the shore

There is a secret in seeking its drop

گه در یم و گاه سوی ساحل

در جستن قطره‌اش سری هست

Be silent and do not covet tranquility

That one has stillness who has an informer

خاموش و طمع مکن سکینه

آن راست سکون که مخبری هست
