تا نمیرم من مگو این با کسی ** نه قرینی نه حبیبی نه خسی

Till I die, do not tell this to any one, neither to a comrade nor to a beloved nor to a worthless fellow.”

بعد از آن قومی دگر از روزنش ** مطلع گشتند بر بافیدنش 1710

Afterwards other folk, (looking) through his window, became acquainted with his weaving.

گفت حکمت را تو دانی کردگار ** من کنم پنهان تو کردی آشکار

He said, “O Creator, Thou knowest the wisdom (the purpose in this). I conceal (my secret), Thou hast revealed it.”

آمد الهامش که یکچندی بدند ** که درین غم بر تو منکر می‌شدند

The Divine inspiration came to him: “There were a number of people who were beginning to disbelieve in thee in (consequence of) this affliction,

که مگر سالوس بود او در طریق ** که خدا رسواش کرد اندر فریق

Saying, ‘Perchance he was a hypocrite in the Way (of God), so that God made him infamous among humankind.’

من نخواهم کان رمه کافر شوند ** در ضلالت در گمان بد روند

I don not wish that that party should become infidels and in thinking evil (of thee) fall into perdition;

این کرامت را بکردیم آشکار ** که دهیمت دست اندر وقت کار 1715

(Hence) We divulged this miracle- (namely), that We give thee a hand in thy working-time-

تا که آن بیچارگان بد گمان ** رد نگردند از جناب آسمان

To the end that these wretched evil-thinking men may not be turned back from the Lord of Heaven.

من ترا بی این کرامتها ز پیش ** خود تسلی دادمی از ذات خویش

Erstwhile, indeed, without these miracles I was giving thee consolation from My Person;

این کرامت بهر ایشان دادمت ** وین چراغ از بهر آن بنهادمت

This miracle I have given thee for their sake, and on that account have I bestowed on thee this (spiritual) lamp.
