بود در انجیل نام مصطفی ** آن سر پیغمبران بحر صفا

The name of Mustafá was in the Gospel—(Mustafá) the chief of the prophets, the sea of purity.

بود ذکر حلیه‌‌ها و شکل او ** بود ذکر غزو و صوم و اکل او

There was mention of his (external) characteristics and appearance; there was mention of his warring and fasting and eating.

طایفه‌‌ی نصرانیان بهر ثواب ** چون رسیدندی بدان نام و خطاب‌‌

A party among the Christians, for the sake of the Divine reward, whenever (in reading the Gospel) they came to that name and allocution,

بوسه دادندی بر آن نام شریف ** رو نهادندی بر آن وصف لطیف‌‌ 730

Would bestow kisses on that noble name and stoop their faces towards that beauteous description.

اندر این فتنه که گفتیم آن گروه ** ایمن از فتنه بدند و از شکوه‌‌

In this tribulation of which we have told, that party were secure from tribulation and dread,

ایمن از شر امیران و وزیر ** در پناه نام احمد مستجیر

Secure from the mischief of the amírs and the vizier, seeking refuge in the protection of the Name of Ahmad (Mohammed).

نسل ایشان نیز هم بسیار شد ** نور احمد ناصر آمد یار شد

Their offspring also multiplied: the Light of Ahmad aided and befriended them.

و آن گروه دیگر از نصرانیان ** نام احمد داشتندی مستهان‌‌

And the other party among the Christians (who) were holding the Name of Ahmad in contempt,

مستهان و خوار گشتند از فتن ** از وزیر شوم رای شوم فن‌‌ 735

They became contemptible and despised through dissensions caused by the evil counselling and evil-plotting vizier;

هم مخبط دینشان و حکمشان ** از پی طومارهای کژ بیان‌‌

Moreover, their religion and their law became corrupted in consequence of the scrolls which set forth all perversely.
