ای رسول ما تو جادو نیستی ** صادقی هم‌خرقه‌ی موسیستی

O My Messenger, thou art not a sorcerer: thou art truthful, thou wearest the mantle of Moses.

هست قرآن مر تو را همچون عصا ** کفرها را در کشد چون اژدها

To thee the Qur’án is even as the rod (of Moses): it swallows up (all) infidelities, like a dragon.

تو اگر در زیر خاکی خفته‌ای ** چون عصایش دان تو آنچ گفته‌ای 1210

If thou sleepest beneath a sod, (yet) deem as his rod that which thou hast spoken (My Word).

قاصدان را بر عصایش دست نی ** تو بخسپ ای شه مبارک خفتنی

Assailants have no power over his rod. Do thou (then) sleep, O King, a blessed sleep!

تن بخفته نور تو بر آسمان ** بهر پیکار تو زه کرده کمان

(Whilst) thy body is asleep (in the tomb), thy Light in Heaven hath strung a bow for thy war (against the infidels).

فلسفی و آنچ پوزش می‌کند ** قوس نورت تیردوزش می‌کند

The philosopher and that which his mouth doeth—the bow of thy Light is piercing him (and it) with arrows.”

آنچنان کرد و از آن افزون که گفت ** او بخفت و بخت و اقبالش نخفت

Thus He did, and (even) more than He said: he (the Prophet) slept (the sleep of death), but his fortune and prosperity slumbered not.

جان بابا چونک ساحر خواب شد ** کار او بی رونق و بی‌تاب شد 1215

“O soul of thy father, when a magician goes to sleep, his work becomes tarnished and dim.”

هر دو بوسیدند گورش را و تفت ** تا بمصر از بهر آن پیگار زفت

Both (the magician's sons) kissed his grave and turned away (and came) to Egypt for the purpose of this mighty struggle.

چون به مصر از بهر آن کار آمدند ** طالب موسی و خانه‌ی او شدند

When they came to Egypt for the sake of that enterprise, they sought after Moses and his house.
