لیک در خواهم ز نیکوداوری ** تا که ایمان آن زمان با خود بری

But I will crave of (God's) good dispensation that thou mayst take the Faith away with thee at that time (of departing from the world).

چونک ایمان برده باشی زنده‌ای ** چونک با ایمان روی پاینده‌ای

When thou hast taken the Faith away (with thee), thou art living: when thou goest with the Faith, thou art enduring (for ever).”

هم در آن دم حال بر خواجه بگشت ** تا دلش شوریده و آوردند طشت

At the same instant the Khwája became indisposed, so that he felt qualms, and they brought the basin.

شورش مرگست نه هیضه‌ی طعام ** قی چه سودت دارد ای بدبخت خام

’Tis the qualms of death, not indigestion: how should vomiting avail thee, O foolish ill-fortuned man?

چار کس بردند تا سوی وثاق ** ساق می‌مالید او بر پشت ساق 3380

Four persons carried him to his house: he was rubbing (one) leg on the back of (the other) leg.

پند موسی نشنوی شوخی کنی ** خویشتن بر تیغ پولادی زنی

(If) you hearken not to the counsel of (a) Moses and show disrespect, you dash yourself against a sword of steel.

شرم ناید تیغ را از جان تو ** آن تست این ای برادر آن تو

The sword feels no shame (to restrain it) from (taking) your life: this is your own (fault), O brother, your own (fault).

دعاکردن موسی آن شخص را تا بایمان رود از دنیا

How Moses prayed for that person, that he might depart from the world (die) in the Faith.

موسی آمد در مناجات آن سحر ** کای خدا ایمان ازو مستان مبر

At dawn Moses began (his) orison, saying, “O God, do not take the Faith from him, do not carry it away!

پادشاهی کن برو بخشا که او ** سهو کرد و خیره‌رویی و غلو

Act in royal fashion, forgive him, for he has erred and behaved with impudence and transgressed exceedingly.

گفتمش این علم نه درخورد تست ** دفع پندارید گفتم را و سست 3385

I said to him, ‘This knowledge is not meet for thee,’ (but) he deemed my words a thwarting (of his desire) and vain.”
