دست و پا دادمت چون بیل و کلند ** من ببخشیدم ز خود آن کی شدند

I gave thee hands and feet as spade and mattock (for tilling the soil of good works). When did those become (existent) of themselves?”

Even so hundreds of thousands of such sorrowful messages come from the Lord.

در قیام این کفتها دارد رجوع ** وز خجالت شد دوتا او در رکوع 2155

Again He says, “Lift up thy head and relate (thy deeds), for I will inquire of thee (concerning them), hair by hair.”
