این سخن پایان ندارد ای پدر ** این سخن را ترک کن پایان نگر 3200
This discourse hath no end, O father: leave this discourse and consider the end.
غیرتم آید که پیشت بیستند ** بر تو می‌خندند عاشق نیستند
I am not jealous that they (your pupils) stand (listening) in your presence: they are (really) mocking you, they are not lovers.
عاشقانت در پس پرده‌ی کرم ** بهر تو نعره‌زنان بین دم بدم
Behold your (true) lovers behind the veil of the (Divine) Bounty, crying aloud for you continually.
عاشق آن عاشقان غیب باش ** عاشقان پنج روزه کم تراش
Be the lover of those unseen lovers: do not cherish the lovers who last (no more than) five days;
که بخوردندت ز خدعه و جذبه‌ای ** سالها زیشان ندیدی حبه‌ای
For they have devoured you by means of a (great) deceit and attraction (exerted upon you), and during (many) years you have never seen a grain (of profit) from them.
چند هنگامه نهی بر راه عام ** گام خستی بر نیامد هیچ کام 3205
How long will you set up a show on the public road? You are footsore (with travel), and no desire (of yours) has been fulfilled.
وقت صحت جمله یارند و حریف ** وقت درد و غم به جز حق کو الیف
When you enjoy good health all of them are your friends and comrades, (but) in the hour of pain and sorrow where is any familiar friend but God?
وقت درد چشم و دندان هیچ کس ** دست تو گیرد به جز فریاد رس
In the hour of eye-ache or toothache will any one take your hand (to help) except Him who comes at the cry of distress?
پس همان درد و مرض را یاد دار ** چون ایاز از پوستین کن اعتبار
Therefore (always) recollect that sickness and pain: take warning (from it), like Ayáz from that sheepskin jacket.
پوستین آن حالت درد توست ** که گرفتست آن ایاز آن را به دست
Your experience of pain is the sheepskin jacket which Ayáz took into his hand.”
باز جواب گفتن آن کافر جبری آن سنی را کی باسلامش دعوت می‌کرد و به ترک اعتقاد جبرش دعوت می‌کرد و دراز شدن مناظره از طرفین کی ماده‌ی اشکال و جواب را نبرد الا عشق حقیقی کی او را پروای آن نماند و ذلک فضل الله یتیه من یشاء
How the Necessitarian infidel again replied to the Sunní who was inviting him to accept Islam and abandon his belief in Necessity, and how the debate was prolonged on both sides; for this difficult and controversial matter cannot be decided except by the real love that has no further interest in it—“and that is God's grace: He bestows it on whom He pleases.”
