I was a treasure, a hidden mercy, so I sent forth a rightly guided Imám.”
هر کراماتی که میجویی به جان ** او نمودت تا طمع کردی در آن365
Every (Divine) grace that you are seeking with (all) your soul, He showed it to you that you might desire it.
چند بت بشکست احمد در جهان ** تا که یا رب گوی گشتند امتان
How many idols did Ahmad (Mohammed) break in the world, that the (religious) communities might cry “O Lord”!
گر نبودی کوشش احمد تو هم ** میپرستیدی چو اجدادت صنم
Had it not been for the efforts of Ahmad, you also, like your ancestors, would be worshipping idols.
این سرت وارست از سجدهی صنم ** تا بدانی حق او را بر امم
This head of yours has been delivered from bowing to idols, in order that you may acknowledge his rightful claim upon the (gratitude of the religious) communities.
گر بگویی شکر این رستن بگو ** کز بت باطن همت برهاند او
If you speak, speak thanks for this deliverance, that he may also deliver you from the idol within.
مر سرت را چون رهانید از بتان ** هم بدان قوت تو دل را وارهان370
Since he has delivered your head from idols, do you deliver your heart also by means of that strength (which you have gained from him).
سر ز شکر دین از آن بر تافتی ** کز پدر میراث مفتاش یافتی
You have neglected to give thanks for the Religion because you got it for nothing as an inheritance from your father.
مرد میراثی چه داند قدر مال ** رستمی جان کند و مجان یافت زال
How should a man who inherits know the value of wealth? A Rustam tore his soul (suffered agonies in acquiring it), (whereas) Zál got it cost-free.
چون بگریانم بجوشد رحمتم ** آن خروشنده بنوشد نعمتم
“When I cause (any one) to weep, My mercy is aroused: that wailer drinks of (enjoys) My bounty.
