حیله کرد او و به خواب اندر خزید ** خویشتن در خواب در ویرانه دید
He made shift and crept to sleep: in his slumber he dreamed that he was in a desolate place.
زانک ویرانه بد اندر خاطرش ** شد به خواب اندر همانجا منظرش
Since a desolate place was in his mind, his (inward) sight went thither in sleep.
خویش در ویرانه‌ی خالی چو دید ** او چنان محتاج اندر دم برید
Cum sese videret in loco vastato et vacuo, tanta necessitate coactus extemplo cacavit. [When he saw himself in an empty and desolate place, (being in) such need, he defecated in (that very) moment.]
گشت بیدار و بدید آن جامه خواب ** پر حدث دیوانه شد از اضطراب 90
Experrectus vidit stratum lecti in quo dormiverat sordibus plenum: pudore commotus insanire coepit. [He woke up and saw the bedclothes (in which he had slept) full of filth: he became crazy from (shame and) anguish.]
ز اندرون او برآمد صد خروش ** زین چنین رسواییی بی خاک‌پوش
E corde ejus ascendunt centum gemitus propter tale opprobrium pulvere non coopertum. [A hundred groans arose from his inward (heart) because of such a disgrace not covered (up) by dust.]
گفت خوابم بتر از بیداریم ** گه خورم این سو و آن سو می‌ریم
“Somnus meus,” inquit, “pejor quam vigilia mea; hic enim edo, illic caco.” [“My sleep,” he said, “(is) worse than my wakefulness; because I eat here and I defecate there.”]
He was crying, “Woe and alas! Woe and alas!” even as the unbeliever in the depths of the tomb,
منتظر که کی شود این شب به سر ** یا برآید در گشادن بانگ در
Waiting to see when this night would come to an end, that the noise of the door in opening might rise (to his ear),
تا گریزد او چو تیری از کمان ** تا نبیند هیچ کس او را چنان 95
In order to flee like an arrow from the bow, (for fear) lest any one should see him in such a condition.
قصه بسیارست کوته می‌کنم ** باز شد آن در رهید از درد و غم
The story is long: I will shorten it. The door opened: he was delivered from grief and pain.
در حجره گشادن مصطفی علیه‌السلام بر مهمان و خود را پنهان کردن تا او خیال گشاینده را نبیند و خجل شود و گستاخ بیرون رود
How Mustafá (Mohammed) opened the door of the room for his guest and concealed himself in order that he (the guest) might not see the form of the person who opened it and be overcome with shame, but might go forth boldly.
