  • منکر فعل خداوند جلیل  ** هست در انکار مدلول دلیل 
  • He who denies the action of the Almighty Lord is (virtually) denying Him who is indicated by the indication.

  • آن بگوید دود هست و نار نی  ** نور شمعی بی ز شمعی روشنی 
  • That one (the believer in absolute Free-will) says, ‘There is smoke, but no fire; there is candle-light without any resplendent candle’;

  • وین همی‌بیند معین نار را  ** نیست می‌گوید پی انکار را 
  • And this one (the Necessitarian) sees the fire plainly, (but) for the sake of denial he says it does not exist.

  • جامه‌اش سوزد بگوید نار نیست  ** جامه‌اش دوزد بگوید تار نیست 
  • It burns his raiment, (yet) he says, ‘There is no fire’; it (the thread) stitches his raiment, (yet) he says, ‘There is no thread.’

  • پس تسفسط آمد این دعوی جبر  ** لاجرم بدتر بود زین رو ز گبر  3015
  • Hence this doctrine of Necessity is Sophisticism (Scepticism): consequently he (the Necessitarian), from this point of view, is worse than the infidel (believer in absolute Free-will).

  • گبر گوید هست عالم نیست رب  ** یا ربی گوید که نبود مستحب 
  • The infidel says, ‘The world exists, (but) there is no Lord’: he says that (the invocation) ‘O my Lord!’ is not to be approved.

  • این همی گوید جهان خود نیست هیچ  ** هسته سوفسطایی اندر پیچ پیچ 
  • This one (the Necessitarian) says, ‘The world is really naught’: the Sophist (Sceptic) is in a tangle (of error).

  • جمله‌ی عالم مقر در اختیار  ** امر و نهی این میار و آن بیار 
  • The whole world acknowledges (the reality of) the power of choice: (the proof is) their commanding and forbidding (each other)—‘Bring this and do not bring that!’

  • او همی گوید که امر و نهی لاست  ** اختیاری نیست این جمله خطاست 
  • He (the Necessitarian) says that commanding and forbidding are naught and that there is no power of choice. All this (doctrine) is erroneous.

  • حس را حیوان مقرست ای رفیق  ** لیک ادراک دلیل آمد دقیق  3020
  • Animals (too) acknowledge (the reality of) the (inward) sense, O comrade, but it is a subtle (difficult) matter to apprehend the proof (of this).
