هر زمان که قصد خواندن باشدت ** یا ز مصحفها قرائت بایدت
Whensoever thou intendest to read (the Qur’án) or wantest the lection from (different) copies,
من در آن دم وا دهم چشم ترا ** تا فرو خوانی معظم جوهرا
At that moment I will restore thine eye, in order that thou mayst read, O venerable being.’
همچنان کرد و هر آنگاهی که من ** وا گشایم مصحف اندر خواندن
Even so He did, and whenever I open the Book to read,
آن خبیری که نشد غافل ز کار ** آن گرامی پادشاه و کردگار1870
That all-knowing One who never becomes forgetful of His work, that honoured Sovereign and Maker,
باز بخشد بینشم آن شاه فرد ** در زمان همچون چراغ شب‌نورد
That incomparable King at once gives my sight back to me, like a lamp that makes an end of the (darkness of) night.”
زین سبب نبود ولی را اعتراض ** هرچه بستاند فرستد اعتیاض
On this account the saint has no objection (to raise against the Divine ordainment): whatsoever He (God) takes away, He sends compensation.
گر بسوزد باغت انگورت دهد ** در میان ماتمی سورت دهد
If He burn your vineyard, He will give you grapes; in the midst of mourning He will give you festivity.
آن شل بی‌دست را دستی دهد ** کان غمها را دل مستی دهد
To the handless paralytic He gives a hand, to the (person who is a) mine of grief He gives the (joyous) heart of an intoxicated one.
لا نسلم و اعتراض از ما برفت ** چون عوض می‌آید از مفقود زفت1875
(The feeling denoted by the words) “We will not submit” and (the desire to raise) objection have gone from us (saints), since there is coming a great recompense for what has been lost.
چونک بی آتش مرا گرمی رسد ** راضیم گر آتشش ما را کشد
Inasmuch as heat comes to me without fire, I am content if His fire kill me.
