آنچنان که از عکس دوزخ گشته‌ام ** آتش و در قهر حق آغشته‌ام

In the same fashion as from the reflexion of Hell I have become fire and am steeped in the wrath of God.

گه ز عکس مار دوزخ هم‌چو مار ** گشته‌ام بر اهل جنت زهربار

At one moment, from the reflexion of the snake of Hell I have become (engaged in) dropping poison, like a snake, on those who shall dwell in Paradise;

گه ز عکس جوشش آب حمیم ** آب ظلمم کرده خلقان را رمیم 2525

At another time, from the reflexion of the boiling of the hot water (of Hell), the water of my oppression has made the people (like) rotten bones.

من ز عکس زمهریرم زمهریر ** یا ز عکس آن سعیرم چون سعیر

From the reflexion of the zamharír (intense cold of Hell) I am (as) the zamharír; or from the reflexion of the sa‘ír (flames of Hell) I am as the sa‘ír.

دوزخ درویش و مظلومم کنون ** وای آنک یابمش ناگه زبون

I am now the Hell of the poor and oppressed: woe to him whom I suddenly find subject (to me)!”

شرح کردن موسی علیه‌السلام آن چهار فضیلت را جهت پای مزد ایمان فرعون

How Moses, on whom be peace, explained those four excellent qualities (which should be bestowed) as a reward for Pharaoh's coming into the Faith.

گفت موسی که اولین آن چهار ** صحتی باشد تنت را پایدار

Moses said, "The first of those four will be constant health for thy body:

این علل‌هایی که در طب گفته‌اند ** دور باشد از تنت ای ارجمند

These maladies that are described in (books of) Medicine will be far from thy body, O estimable one.

ثانیا باشد ترا عمر دراز ** که اجل دارد ز عمرت احتراز 2530

Secondly, thou wilt have a long life, for death will be cautious of (attacking) thy life;

وین نباشد بعد عمر مستوی ** که بناکام از جهان بیرون روی

And after a life uniform (in happiness) this will not be (the sequel, namely) that thou wilt go forth from the world against thy will;

بلک خواهان اجل چون طفل شیر ** نه ز رنجی که ترا دارد اسیر

Nay, but (thou wilt go) desiring death as the sucking babe (desires milk), not on account of the pain that holds thee captive.
