Neither Dread Nor Shame

How should I steal when He is the keeper of the treasury? 
I am the lover of that One to whom every ‘that’ belongs: of (even) a single pearl of His the bodyguard is Intellect and Spirit.
I do not boast, or if I boast, (’tis only in appearance, for) like water, I have no trouble in quenching fire.
How should I steal when He is the keeper of the treasury?
How should not I be hard-faced (bold and resolute)? He is my support.
Every one whose back is warmed by the Sun will be hard-faced: he will have neither dread nor shame.
The Masnawi Volume 3, 4135
