جوق جوقی مبتلا دیدی نزار ** شسته بر در در امید و انتظار

And would see troops of afflicted feeble folk seated at the door in hope and expectancy.

گفتی ای اصحاب آفت از خدا ** حاجت این جملگانتان شد روا

(Then) he would say, “O ye that are smitten, the wants of all you here present have been granted by God.

هین روان گردید بی رنج و عنا ** سوی غفاری و اکرام خدا

Hark, set off and go without pain or trouble towards the forgiveness and kindness of God.”

جملگان چون اشتران بسته‌پای ** که گشایی زانوی ایشان برای 305

All, like tethered camels whose knees you unbind with foresight,

خوش دوان و شادمانه سوی خان ** از دعای او شدندی پا دوان

At his prayer would begin to run on their feet, hastening gladly and joyously to their homes.

آزمودی تو بسی آفات خویش ** یافتی صحت ازین شاهان کیش

(So too) thou hast experienced many maladies in thyself, and hast gained health from these kings of religion (the saints).

چند آن لنگی تو رهوار شد ** چند جانت بی غم و آزار شد

How oft hath thy limping been turned into a smooth (easy) gait, how oft hath thy soul been made void of grief and pain!

ای مغفل رشته‌ای بر پای بند ** تا ز خود هم گم نگردی ای لوند

O heedless one, tie a string to thy foot, that thou mayst not become lost to (unconscious of) thyself even, O sluggard!

ناسپاسی و فراموشی تو ** یاد ناورد آن عسل‌نوشی تو 310

Thy ingratitude and forgetfulness did not call to mind thy (former) drinking of honey.

لاجرم آن راه بر تو بسته شد ** چون دل اهل دل از تو خسته شد

Necessarily, that way (by which spiritual blessings were conveyed) became barred to thee, since the hearts of the “men of heart” were made sore by thee.
