چون رهید آن کشتی و آمد بکام ** شد نماز آن جماعت هم تمام

“When the ship was saved and (the voyagers) attained to their desire, simultaneously the (ritual) prayer of that company was finished.

فجفجی افتادشان با همدگر ** کین فضولی کیست از ما ای پدر

They began to murmur to one another, saying, ‘O father, which of us is this (interfering) busybody?’

هر یکی با آن دگر گفتند سر ** از پس پشت دقوقی مستتر

Each one spoke in secret to the other, (whilst they were) concealed (from view) behind Daqúqí's back,

گفت هر یک من نکردستم کنون ** این دعا نه از برون نه از درون

And each one said, ‘I did not make this invocation just now, either externally or internally.’

گفت مانا این امام ما ز درد ** بوالفضولانه مناجاتی بکرد 2285

He (one of the company) said, ‘It would seem that this Imám of ours, (moved) by grief, has meddlesomely offered an orison.’

گفت آن دیگر که ای یار یقین ** مر مرا هم می‌نماید این چنین

Said the other, ‘O thou who art familiar with (intuitive) certainty, so it appears to me too.

او فضولی بوده است از انقباض ** کرد بر مختار مطلق اعتراض

He has been meddlesome: (prompted) by distress he has interfered with Him who chooseth (as He pleaseth), the Absolute One.’

چون نگه کردم سپس تا بنگرم ** که چه می‌گویند آن اهل کرم

When I looked behind (me) to see what those noble ones were saying,

یک ازیشان را ندیدم در مقام ** رفته بودند از مقام خود تمام

I did not see one of them in their place: they had all gone from their place.

نه به چپ نه راست نه بالا نه زیر ** چشم تیز من نشد بر قوم چیر 2290

(They were) neither on the left nor on the right nor above nor below: my keen eye was unable to find the company (anywhere).
