از پی هیکل شتاب اندر دوید ** در وثاق مصطفی و آن را بدید

In quest of the amulet he ran hastily into the house of Mustafá and saw him,

کان یدالله آن حدث را هم به خود ** خوش همی‌شوید که دورش چشم بد

That Hand of God, cheerfully washing the filth by himself— far from him be the evil eye!

هیکلش از یاد رفت و شد پدید ** اندرو شوری گریبان را درید

The amulet vanished from his mind, and a great rapture arose in him: he tore his collar,

می‌زد او دو دست را بر رو و سر ** کله را می‌کوفت بر دیوار و در

Smiting his face and head with both hands, beating his pate against wall and door,

آنچنان که خون ز بینی و سرش ** شد روان و رحم کرد آن مهترش 125

In such a wise that blood poured from his nose and head, and the Prince (Mohammed) took pity on him.

نعره‌ها زد خلق جمع آمد برو ** گبر گویان ایهاالناس احذروا

He uttered shrieks, the people gathered round him: the infidel was crying, “O people, beware!”

می‌زد او بر سر کای بی‌عقل سر ** می‌زد او بر سینه کای بی‌نور بر

He smote his head, saying, “O head without understanding!” He smote his breast, saying, “O bosom without light!”

سجده می‌کرد او کای کل زمین ** شرمسارست از تو این جزو مهین

Prostrating himself, he cried, “O (thou who art) the whole earth, this despicable part is abashed on account of thee.

تو که کلی خاضع امر ویی ** من که جزوم ظالم و زشت و غوی

Thou, who art the whole, art submissive to His command; I, who am (but) a part, am unjust and wicked and misguided.

تو که کلی خوار و لرزانی ز حق ** من که جزوم در خلاف و در سبق 130

Thou, who art the whole, art humble and trembling in fear of God; I, who am (but) a part, am (engaged) in opposition and in rivalry.”
