آن توکل کو خلیلانه ترا ** وآن کرامت چون کلیمت از کجا
Where, in your case, is trust in God like (the trust of) Khalíl (Abraham), and whence will you get the (Divine) grace like (that bestowed upon) Kalím (Moses),
تا نبرد تیغت اسمعیل را ** تا کنی شه‌راه قعر نیل را
So that your knife should not cut (the throat of) Ismá‘íl (Ishmael) and that you should make the depths of the Nile a (dry) highway?
گر سعیدی از مناره اوفتید ** بادش اندر جامه افتاد و رهید
If a blessed one fell from the minaret (and) was saved by the wind filling his raiment,
چون یقینت نیست آن بخت ای حسن ** تو چرا بر باد دادی خویشتن 1350
Why have you, O good man, committed yourself to the wind when you are not sure of that (same) fortune?
زین مناره صد هزاران هم‌چو عاد ** در فتادند و سر و سر باد داد
From this minaret hundreds of thousands (of peoples) like ‘Ád fell down and gave to the wind (lost) their lives and souls.
سرنگون افتادگان را زین منار ** می‌نگر تو صد هزار اندر هزار
Behold those who have fallen headlong from this minaret, hundreds of thousands on thousands!
تو رسن‌بازی نمیدانی یقین ** شکر پاها گوی و می‌رو بر زمین
(If) you have no sure skill in rope-dancing, give thanks for your feet and walk on the ground.
پر مساز از کاغذ و از که مپر ** که در آن سودا بسی رفتست سر
Don't make wings of paper and fly from the (top of a) mountain, for many a head has gone (to destruction) in this craze.
گرچه آن صوفی پر آتش شد ز خشم ** لیک او بر عاقبت انداخت چشم 1355
Although the Súfí was afire with anger, yet he cast his eye on the consequence.
اول صف بر کسی ماندم به کام ** کو نگیرد دانه بیند بند دام
The highest success belongs permanently to him who does not take the bait and sees (the danger of) imprisonment in the trap.
