چونک دست خود به دست او نهی ** پس ز دست آکلان بیرون جهی
When thou layest thy hand in his, then thou wilt escape from the hand of the devourers,
دست تو از اهل آن بیعت شود ** که یدالله فوق ایدیهم بود 740
And thy hand will become one of the Covenanters above whose hands is the Hand of Allah.
چون بدادی دست خود در دست پیر ** پیر حکمت که علیمست و خطیر
When thou hast put thy hand in the hand of the Pír, the Pír of wisdom who is knowing and eminent,
کو نبی وقت خویشست ای مرید ** تا ازو نور نبی آید پدید
Who is the prophet of his own time, O disciple, so that the Light of the Prophet is manifested by him,
در حدیبیه شدی حاضر بدین ** وآن صحابه‌ی بیعتی را هم‌قرین
By this means thou hast been present at Hudaybiya and hast been associated with the Companions who took the Covenant.
پس ز ده یار مبشر آمدی ** هم‌چو زر ده‌دهی خالص شدی
Therefore thou hast become one of the ten Friends to whom the glad tidings were given, and hast been made pure like sterling gold.
تا معیت راست آید زانک مرد ** با کسی جفتست کو را دوست کرد 745
(This is) to the end that communion may be made perfect; for a man is united with that one whom he has made his friend.
این جهان و آن جهان با او بود ** وین حدیث احمد خوش‌خو بود
He is with him in this world and in that (other) world; and this is the (meaning of) the Hadíth of sweet-natured Ahmad (Mohammed),
گفت المرء مع محبوبه ** لا یفک القلب من مطلوبه
(Who) said, ‘A man is with him whom he loves’: the heart is not severed from its object of desire.
هر کجا دامست و دانه کم نشین ** رو زبون‌گیرا زبون‌گیران ببین
Do not sit in any place where there is a trap and bait: O thou who regardest (others) as weak, go, consider (what becomes of) those who regard (others) as weak.
