Because every one whose eyes He (God) hath opened would know that the slayer was constrained (to slay) by (Divine) predestination.

هر که را آن حکم بر سر آمدی ** بر سر فرزند هم تیغی زدی‌‌

رو بترس و طعنه کم زن بر بدان ** پیش دام حکم عجز خود بدان‌‌

Go, fear (God) and do not rail at the wicked: know thine own impotence before the snare of the (Divine) decree.

گفت آدم توبه کردم زین نظر ** این چنین گستاخ نندیشم دگر

Adam said, “I repent of this look; I will not think so disrespectfully again.”

یا غیاث المستغیثین اهدنا ** لا افتخار بالعلوم و الغنی‌‌
