خواند مزمل نبی را زین سبب ** که برون آ از گلیم ای بوالهرب
For this reason He (God) called the Prophet muzzammil (one who wraps himself), saying, “Come forth from the cloak, O thou who art fond of taking flight.
سر مکش اندر گلیم و رو مپوش ** که جهان جسمیست سرگردان تو هوش
Do not draw thy head into the cloak and do not cover thy face, for the world is a reeling body: thou art the intelligence (rational spirit).
هین مشو پنهان ز ننگ مدعی ** که تو داری شمع وحی شعشعی1455
Hark, do not hide on account of the opprobrium of the adversary, since thou hast the resplendent candle of the Revelation.
هین قم اللیل که شمعی ای همام ** شمع اندر شب بود اندر قیام
Hark, stand up (in prayer) during the night, for thou art a candle, O prince: at night a candle stands up (and burns).
بی‌فروغت روز روشن هم شبست ** بی‌پناهت شیر اسیر ارنبست
Without thy radiance, even the bright day is (dark as) night: without thy protection, the lion is captive to the hare.
باش کشتیبان درین بحر صفا ** که تو نوح ثانیی ای مصطفی
Be the captain (pilot) of the ship in this sea of (spiritual) purity, for thou art a second Noah, O Mustafá (elect one).
ره شناسی می‌بباید با لباب ** هر رهی را خاصه اندر راه آب
An expert guide, (endowed) with understanding, is needed for every road, especially in the road (journey) on the water.

Arise! Look upon the waylaid caravan: everywhere a ghoul has become captain of the ship.
خضر وقتی غوث هر کشتی توی ** هم‌چو روح‌الله مکن تنها روی
Thou art the Khizr of the time and the Deliverer of every ship (in distress): do not, like (Jesus) the Spirit of God, practise solitude.
پیش این جمعی چو شمع آسمان ** انقطاع و خلوت آری را بمان
In the sight of this assembly (of people) thou art as the candle of heaven: leave off severing thyself (from them) and adopting seclusion.
