He said: Nothing but truthfulness will free you; justice calls you toward truthfulness.
راست گو تا وا رهی از چنگ منمکر ننشاند غبار جنگ من
Speak truth, so that you may be released from my grasp; cunning will not settle the dust of my battle.
گفت چون دانی دروغ و راست راای خیال اندیش پر اندیشه ها
He said: How do you know falsehood and truth, O fantasy-minded one, full of thoughts?
گفت پیغامبر نشانی داده استقلب و نیکو را محک بنهاده است
He said: The Prophet has given a sign; he has set a touchstone for the counterfeit and the good.
گفته است الکذب ریب فی القلوبگفت الصدق طمانین طروب
He said: 'Falsehood is unease in hearts'; he said: 'Truth is tranquil, joyful reassurance.'
دل نیارامد ز گفتار دروغآب و روغن هیچ نفروزد فروغ
The heart finds no rest in lying speech; water and oil never kindle a flame.
در حدیث راست آرام دلستراستیها دانهٔ دام دلست
In truthful discourse there is rest for the heart; truths are the grain of the heart's snare.
دل مگر رنجور باشد بد دهانکه نداند چاشنی این و آن
Unless the heart is sick and has a bad palate, so that it cannot know the taste of this and that.
چون شود از رنج و علت دل سلیمطعم کذب و راست را باشد علیم
When the heart becomes sound from sickness and malady, it knows the taste of falsehood and truth.

When Adam's greed increased toward the wheat, it robbed Adam's heart of soundness.
پس دروغ و عشوه ات را گوش کردغره گشت و زهر قاتل نوش کرد
Then he listened to your lie and blandishment; he was deceived and drank deadly poison.
کزدم از گندم ندانست آن نفسمی پرد تمییز از مست هوس
At that moment the self did not know scorpion from wheat; discernment flies away from one drunk with desire.
خلق مست آرزواند و هوازان پذیرااند دستان تو را
People are drunk with cravings and passion; for that reason they accept your stratagems.
هر که خود را از هوا خو باز کردچشم خود را آشنای راز کرد
Whoever has weaned himself from the habit of passion has made his eye acquainted with the secret.
