کی شود باریک هستی جمل ** جز به مقراض ریاضات و عمل‌‌

How should the existence (body) of the camel be fined down save by the shears of ascetic exercises and works?

دست حق باید مر آن را ای فلان ** کاو بود بر هر محالی کن فکان‌‌

For that, O reader, the hand (power) of God is necessary, for it is the Be, and it was (bringer into existence) of every (seemingly) impossible thing.

هر محال از دست او ممکن شود ** هر حرون از بیم او ساکن شود

By His hand every impossible thing is made possible; by fear of Him every unruly one is made quiet.

اکمه و ابرص چه باشد مرده نیز ** زنده گردد از فسون آن عزیز

What of the man blind from birth and the leper? Even the dead is made living by the spell of the Almighty,

و آن عدم کز مرده مرده‌‌تر بود ** در کف ایجاد او مضطر بود 3070

And that non-existence which is more dead than the dead— compelled (helpless) in the hand of (under the power of) His bringing (it) into existence.

کل يوم هو فی شأن بخوان ** مر و را بی‌‌کار و بی‌‌فعلی مدان‌‌

Recite (the text), Every day He is (engaged) in some affair: do not deem Him idle and inactive.

کمترین کاریش هر روز است آن ** کاو سه لشکر را کند این سو روان‌‌

His least act, every day, is that He despatches three armies:

لشکری ز اصلاب سوی امهات ** بهر آن تا در رحم روید نبات‌‌

One army from the loins (of the fathers) towards the mothers, in order that the plant may grow in the womb;

لشکری ز ارحام سوی خاکدان ** تا ز نر و ماده پر گردد جهان‌‌

One army from the wombs to the Earth, that the world may be filled with male and female;

لشکری از خاک ز آن سوی اجل ** تا ببیند هر کسی حسن عمل‌‌ 3075

One army from the Earth (to what is) beyond death, that every one may behold the beauty of (good) works.
