  • غفلت و نسیان بد آموخته  ** ز آتش تعظیم گردد سوخته 
  • The heedlessness and wicked forgetfulness (which) he (the sinner) has learned will be consumed by the fire of reverence.

  • هیبتش بیداری و فطنت دهد  ** سهو نسیان از دلش بیرون جهد 
  • Awe (of God) will bestow on him wakefulness and keen wittedness: negligence and forgetfulness will leap forth from his heart.

  • وقت غارت خواب ناید خلق را  ** تا بنرباید کسی زو دلق را 
  • Folk do not fall asleep at the time of a raid, lest any one should carry off his (the sleeper’s) cloak.

  • خواب چون در می‌رمد از بیم دلق  ** خواب نسیان کی بود با بیم حلق  4100
  • Since sleep is banished by fear for one’s cloak, how should the sleep of forgetfulness be (possible when accompanied) with fear for one’s throat?

  • لاتاخذ ان نسینا شد گواه  ** که بود نسیان بوجهی هم گناه 
  • (The text) do not punish (us) if we forget is evidence that forgetfulness too, in a certain way, is sinful,

  • زانک استکمال تعظیم او نکرد  ** ورنه نسیان در نیاوردی نبرد 
  • Because he (who was forgetful) did not attain to complete reverence, or else forgetfulness would not have assailed him

  • گرچه نسیان لابد و ناچار بود  ** در سبب ورزیدن او مختار بود 
  • Although (his) forgetfulness was necessary and inevitable, (yet) he was a free agent in employing the means (by which it was produced);

  • که تهاون کرد در تعظیمها  ** تا که نسیان زاد یا سهو و خطا 
  • For he showed remissness in his  feelings of reverence, so that forgetfulness was born or negligence and trespass.

  • هم‌چو مستی کو جنایتها کند  ** گوید او معذور بودم من ز خود  4105
  • (‘Tis) like (the case of) the drunken man who commits sins and says, “I was excused from (responsibility for) myself”

  • گویدش لیکن سبب ای زشتکار  ** از تو بد در رفتن آن اختیار 
  • “But,” says he (the other) to him, “the cause (of your sin), (consisting) in the loss of that power to choose, proceeded from you, O evil-doer.
