چون بخوانی آن فسون بر مرده‌ای ** برجهد چون شیر صید آورده‌ای

(So that) when thou chantest those spells over a dead man, he springs up (rejoicing) like a lion that has caught his prey.”

گفت آری آن منم گفتا که تو ** نه ز گل مرغان کنی ای خوب‌رو 2580

He said, “Yea, I am he.” Said the other, “Dost not thou make (living) birds out of clay, O beauteous one?”

گفت آری گفت پس ای روح پاک ** هرچه خواهی می‌کنی از کیست باک

He said, “Yea.” Said the other, “Then, O pure Spirit, thou doest whatsoever thou wilt: of whom hast thou fear?

با چنین برهان که باشد در جهان ** که نباشد مر ترا از بندگان

With such (miraculous) evidence, who is there in the world that would not be one of the slaves (devoted) to thee?”

Jesus said, “By the holy Essence of God, the Maker of the body and the Creator of the soul in eternity;

حرمت ذات و صفات پاک او ** که بود گردون گریبان‌چاک او

By the sanctity of the pure Essence and Attributes of Him, for whose sake the collar of Heaven is rent,

(I swear) that the spells and the Most Great Name which I pronounced over the deaf and the blind were good (in their effects).

I pronounced (them) over the stony mountain: it was cloven and tore upon itself its mantle down to the navel.

برتن مرده بخواندم گشت حی ** بر سر لاشی بخواندم گشت شی

I pronounced (them) over the corpse: it came to life. I pronounced (them) over nonentity: it became entity.

خواندم آن را بر دل احمق بود ** صد هزاران بار و درمانی نشد

I pronounced them lovingly over the heart of the fool hundreds of thousands of times, and ’twas no cure (for his folly).
