  • آن یکی زاهد شنود از مصطفی  ** که یقین آید به جان رزق از خدا 
  • A certain ascetic had heard the saying of Mustafá (Mohammed) that the daily bread surely comes from God to the spirit,

  • گر بخواهی ور نخواهی رزق تو  ** پیش تو آید دوان از عشق تو 
  • (And that), whether you will or no, your daily bread comes running to you because it is (so) fond of you.

  • از برای امتحان آن مرد رفت  ** در بیابان نزد کوهی خفت تفت 
  • By way of trial that man went into the desert and immediately lay down near a mountain,

  • که ببینم رزق می‌آید به من  ** تا قوی گردد مرا در رزق ظن

  • (One) said (to another), ‘How is this man destitute here in the wilderness, far from road and town?

  • ای عجب مرده‌ست یا زنده که او  ** می‌نترسد هیچ از گرگ و عدو 
  • Oh, I wonder, is he dead or alive? (Evidently) he has no fear of wolves or enemies.’

  • آمدند و دست بر وی می‌زدند  ** قاصدا چیزی نگفت آن ارجمند 
  • They came on and touched him with their hands: that venerable man deliberately said nothing.

  • هم نجنبید و نجنبانید سر  ** وا نکرد از امتحان هم او بصر
