(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 تو310
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.
