رحم کرد این گرگ و ز عذر لبق ** آمده که إنا ذهبنا نستبق1410
This (visible) wolf took pity (on Joseph), and by way of specious excuse came (the words), “Lo, we went to compete with one another.”
صد هزاران گرگ را این مکر نیست ** عاقبت رسوا شود این گرگ بیست
Hundreds of thousands of wolves have not this cunning; (but) this wolf will at last be put to shame—stop (and see)!—
ز انکه حشر حاسدان روز گزند ** بیگمان بر صورت گرگان کنند
Because on the Day of Bale the envious will without doubt be (raised from the dead and) brought together (to Judgement) in the shape of wolves.
حشر پر حرص خس مردار خوار ** صورت خوکی بود روز شمار
The resurrection of the greedy vile eater of carrion (unlawful food) will be in the shape of a hog on the Day of Reckoning.
زانیان را گند اندام نهان ** خمر خواران را بود گند دهان
Adulteris (erit) foetor membri latentis; wine-drinkers will have stinking mouths. [Adulturers (will) have stinking private members; wine-drinkers will have stinking mouths.]
گند مخفی کان به دلها میرسید ** گشت اندر حشر محسوس و پدید1415
The hidden stench that was reaching (only) to (people's) hearts will become sensible and manifest at the Resurrection.
بیشهای آمد وجود آدمی ** بر حذر شو زین وجود ار ز آن دمی
The being of Man is a jungle: be on your guard against this being, if you are of that (Divine) Breath.
در وجود ما هزاران گرگ و خوک ** صالح و ناصالح و خوب و خشوک
In our being there are thousands of wolves and hogs; (there is) goodly and ungodly and fair and foul.
حکم آن خور است کان غالبتر است ** چون که زر بیش از مس آید آن زر است
To the disposition that is preponderant belongs the decision (as to what you are): when the gold is more than the copper, it (the mixture) is gold.
سیرتی کان بر وجودت غالب است ** هم بر آن تصویر حشرت واجب است
The manner of acting that preponderates in your nature—in that same form you must needs rise (from the dead).
