گاه جیمش می‌‌کند گه حا و دال ** گاه صلحش می‌‌کند گاهی جدال‌‌

گاه جیمش می‌‌کند گه حا و دال ** گاه صلحش می‌‌کند گاهی جدال‌‌ 3335

Now it (the spirit) makes it (the breath) jím, now há and dál; now it makes it peace, now strife.

باز هم آن باد را بر مومنان ** کرده بد صلح و مراعات و امان‌‌

Again, He had also made that wind (to be) peace and regardfulness and safety for the true believers.

When it (the sea of Reality) wishes to make them (the straws) cease from struggling, it casts the straws toward the shore.

چون کشد از ساحلش در موج گاه ** آن کند با او که آتش با گیاه‌‌

When it draws them from the shore into the surge it does with them that which fire does with grass.

این حدیث آخر ندارد باز ران ** جانب هاروت و ماروت ای جوان‌‌

This topic is endless. Speed back, O youth, to (the story of) Hárút and Márút.

باقی قصه‌‌ی هاروت و ماروت و نکال و عقوبت ایشان هم در دنیا به چاه بابل‌‌

The rest of the story of Hárút and Márút, and how an exemplary punishment was inflicted on them, even in this world, in the pit of Babylon.

چون گناه و فسق خلقان جهان ** می‌‌شدی بر هر دو روشن آن زمان‌‌

Inasmuch as the sin and wickedness of the people of the world was becoming clearly visible to them both at that time,
