این گروه مجرمان هم ای مجید ** جمله سرهاشان به دیواری رسید

(Ayáz said), “This company of sinners likewise, O glorious (King)—all their heads have come against a wall.

بر خطا و جرم خود واقف شدند ** گرچه مات کعبتین شه بدند 4190

They have become aware of their fault and sin, although they were defeated by the King's two dice.

رو به تو کردند اکنون اه‌کنان ** ای که لطفت مجرمان را ره‌کنان

Now they turn their faces towards thee, uttering cries of lamentation. O thou whose clemency is making way for sinners,

راه ده آلودگان را العجل ** در فرات عفو و عین مغتسل

Speedily grant the defiled ones admission into the Euphrates of (thy) pardon and the fountain (which is) a (cool) washing-place,

تا که غسل آرند زان جرم دراز ** در صف پاکان روند اندر نماز

That they may wash themselves clean of that prolonged sin and join in prayer among the ranks of the purified—

اندر آن صفها ز اندازه برون ** غرقگان نور نحن الصافون

Among those innumerable ranks plunged in the light of ‘We are they that stand in line.’”

چون سخن در وصف این حالت رسید ** هم قلم بشکست و هم کاغذ درید 4195

When the discourse reached the description of this (exalted) state, at once the pen broke and the paper tore.

بحر را پیمود هیچ اسکره‌ای ** شیر را برداشت هرگز بره‌ای

Did any saucer measure the sea? Did a lamb ever carry off a lion?

گر حجابستت برون رو ز احتجاب ** تا ببینی پادشاهی عجاب

If you are veiled, go forth from enveilment, that you may behold the marvellous sovereignty (of God).

گرچه بشکستند حامت قوم مست ** آنک مست از تو بود عذریش هست

Although the drunken fellows broke Thy cup, (yet) there is an excuse for him that is intoxicated by Thee.
