عشق بینایان بود بر کان زر ** لاجرم هر روز باشد بیشتر
(But) the love of them that have (spiritual) insight is (fixed) on the gold-mine; necessarily it is (grows) greater every day,
زانک کان را در زری نبود شریک ** مرحبا ای کان زر لاشک فیک 980
Because the mine hath no partner in aureity. Hail, O Gold-mine (of Reality), Thou concerning whom there is no doubt!
هر که قلبی را کند انباز کان ** وا رود زر تا بکان لامکان
If any one let a base coin become a sharer with the Mine (in his affection), the gold goes back to the Mine (which is) beyond locality,
عاشق و معشوق مرده ز اضطراب ** مانده ماهی رفته زان گرداب آب
(And then) the lover and his beloved are dead (left to die) in agony: the fish is left (writhing), the water is gone from the whirlpool.
عشق ربانیست خورشید کمال ** امر نور اوست خلقان چون ظلال
The Divine Love is the Sun of perfection: the (Divine) Word is its light, the creatures are as shadows.
مصطفی زین قصه چون خوش برشکفت ** رغبت افزون گشت او را هم بگفت
When Mustafá (Mohammed) expanded with joy on (hearing) this story, his (the Siddíq's) desire to speak (of Bilál) increased also.
مستمع چون یافت هم‌چون مصطفی ** هر سر مویش زبانی شد جدا 985
Since he found a hearer like Mustafá, every hair of him became a separate tongue.
مصطفی گفتش که اکنون چاره چیست ** گفت این بنده مر او را مشتریست
Mustafá said to him, “Now what is the remedy?” He (the Siddíq) replied, “This servant (of God) is going to buy him.
هر بها که گوید او را می‌خرم ** در زیان و حیف ظاهر ننگرم
I will buy him at whatever price he (the Jew) may name: I will not regard the apparent loss (of money) and the extortion;
کو اسیر الله فی الارض آمدست ** سخره‌ی خشم عدو الله شدست
For he is God's captive on the earth, and he has become subjected to the anger of God's enemy.”
وصیت کردن مصطفی علیه‌السلام صدیق را رضی الله عنه کی چون بلال را مشتری می‌شوی هر آینه ایشان از ستیز بر خواهند در بها فزود و بهای او را خواهند فزودن مرا درین فضیلت شریک خود کن وکیل من باش و نیم بها از من بستان
How Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, enjoined the Siddíq, may God be pleased with him, saying, “Since thou art going to purchase Bilál, they (the Jews) will certainly raise his price by wrangling (with thee): make me thy partner in this merit, be my agent, and receive from me half the purchase-money.”
