که ببینیدم که دارم شاخها ** گاو دوزخ را ببینید از ملا

Saying, “Behold me! I have horns! Behold the cow of Hell in full view!”

گواهی دادن دست و پا و زبان بر سر ظالم هم در دنیا

How hands and feet and tongue give evidence concerning the secret of the wicked, even in this world.

پس همینجا دست و پایت در گزند ** بر ضمیر تو گواهی می‌دهند 2455

Even here, then, your hands and feet, in (doing) harm, bear witness to your conscience.

چون موکل می‌شود برتو ضمیر ** که بگو تو اعتقادت وا مگیر

Since your (evil) conscience becomes (as) an overseer to you and says, “Speak! Do not keep back your belief,”

خاصه در هنگام خشم و گفت و گو ** می‌کند ظاهر سرت را مو بمو

And, especially at times of anger and quarrelling, makes manifest your secret thought, hair by hair;

چون موکل می‌شود ظلم و جفا ** که هویدا کن مرا ای دست و پا

Since wrong and injustice become your overseer and say, “Display me, O hands and feet,”

چون همی‌گیرد گواه سر لگام ** خاصه وقت جوش و خشم و انتقام

And since the (evil conscience which bears) witness to the secret thought seizes the reins—in particular at times of emotion and anger and revenge—

پس همان کس کین موکل می‌کند ** تا لوای راز بر صحرا زند 2460

That One, then, who appoints this (conscience) as overseer, that ‘it may unfurl the banner of the secret on the field—

پس موکلهای دیگر روز حشر ** هم تواند آفرید از بهر نشر

(Surely), then, He can also create, on the Day of Judgement, other overseers for the purpose of unfolding (the secret thoughts).

ای بده دست آمده در ظلم و کین ** گوهرت پیداست حاجت نیست این

O thou who hast entered most recklessly upon (a course of) injustice and malice, thy true nature is evident: this (advertisement of it) is not needed.

نیست حاجت شهره گشتن در گزند ** بر ضمیر آتشینت واقف‌اند

It is not necessary to become celebrated for (doing) harm: they (who possess discernment) are acquainted with thy fiery (hellish) conscience.
