بود هامان جنس‌تر فرعون را ** برگزیدش برد بر صدر سرا

Hámán was more congenial (than any one else) to Pharaoh: he (Pharaoh) chose him out and brought him to the high-seat in the palace.

لاجرم از صدر تا قعرش کشید ** که ز جنس دوزخ‌اند آن دو پلید

Inevitably he (Hámán) dragged him (Pharaoh) from the high-seat to the lowest depth, for those two unclean ones are homogenous with Hell.

هر دو سوزنده چو ذوزخ ضد نور ** هر دو چون دوزخ ز نور دل نفور

Both, like Hell, are burning and contrary to light: both, like Hell, are exceedingly averse to the light of the heart;

زانک دوزخ گوید ای مومن تو زود ** برگذر که نورت آتش را ربود

For Hell says, “O true believer, pass by quickly, since thy light hath taken away (extinguished) the Fire.

بگذر اى مومن كه نورت مىكشد ** آتشم را چون كه دامن مىكشد 2710

Pass, O true believer, for thy light, when it sweeps by’, quenches my fire.”

می‌رمد آن دوزخی از نور هم ** زانک طبع دوزخستش ای صنم

The man destined for Hell, also, is recoiling from the light, because he hath the nature of Hell, O worshipful one.

دوزخ از مومن گریزد آنچنان ** که گریزد مومن از دوزخ به جان

Hell flees from the true believer just as the true believer flees with (all) his soul from Hell,

زانک جنس نار نبود نور او ** ضد نار آمد حقیقت نورجو

Because his light is not homogeneous with the Fire: the seeker of the light is in reality the contrary of the Fire

در حدیث آمدی که مومن در دعا ** چون امان خواهد ز دوزخ از خدا

It is related in the Hadíth that when the true believer prays to God for protection from Hell,

دوزخ از وی هم امان خواهد به جان ** که خدایا دور دارم از فلان 2715

Hell also begs earnestly for protection from him, saying, “O God, keep me far from such-and-such a one!”
