  • That (you may see) what (the Divine command), Let God's she-camel have her portion of water, wrought against that people, through the ordainment of death and woe.
  • تا بر آن امت ز حکم مرگ و درد ** ناقة الله و سقیاها چه کرد

  • God connected (the spirit) with a body, in order that he (the prophet or saint) might become a refuge for the whole world.
  • ز آن تعلق کرد با جسمی اله ** تا که گردد جمله عالم را پناه‌‌
