)
طاقت عفو در تو نیست اگرخیز و با دشمنان در آ به ستیز
If you do not possess the power to forgive, go; get to grips with those who have wronged you.
اگر تجھ میں معاف کر دینے کا حوصلہ نہیں؛ تو اٹھ اور دشمنوں سے برسر پیکار ہو۔
سینه را کارگاه کینه بسازسرکه در انگبین خویش مریز
Do not nurse hatred in your heart. O do not make your honey sour by mixing vinegar with it.
مگر اپنے سینے کو کینے کی کارگاہ (فیکٹری) نہ بنا؛ (اپنی زندگی کے) شہد میں سرکہ نہ ملا۔
