  • The Prophet said to ‘Alí, “O ‘Alí, thou art the Lion of God, thou art a courageous knight,
  • گفت پیغمبر علی را کای علی ** شیر حقی پهلوانی پر دلی‌‌
  • But do not even rely upon thy lion-heartedness: come into the shade of the palm tree of hope. 2960

  • Come into the shade (protection) of the Sage whom no conveyer can carry off from the Way.
  • اندر آ در سایه‌‌ی آن عاقلی ** کش نداند برد از ره ناقلی‌‌
  • His shadow on the earth is like Mount Qáf, his spirit is (like) the Símurgh that circles (soars) exceedingly high.
  • ظل او اندر زمین چون کوه قاف ** روح او سیمرغ بس عالی طواف‌‌
  • If I should tell of his qualities until the Resurrection, do not seek (expect) any conclusion and end to them.
  • گر بگویم تا قیامت نعت او ** هیچ آن را مقطع و غایت مجو
  • The (Divine) Sun has veiled Himself in Man: apprehend (this mystery), and God knows best what is right.
  • در بشر رو پوش کرده ست آفتاب ** فهم کن و الله اعلم بالصواب‌‌
  • O ‘Alí, above all devotional acts in the Way (of God) do thou choose the shadow (protection) of the chosen favourite of God. 2965

  • Every one took refuge in some act of devotion and discovered for themselves some means of deliverance.
  • هر کسی در طاعتی بگریختند ** خویشتن را مخلصی انگیختند
  • Go thou, take refuge in the shadow of the Sage, that thou mayst escape from the Enemy that opposes (thee) in secret.
  • تو برو در سایه‌ی عاقل گریز ** تا رهی ز آن دشمن پنهٱن ستیز
  • Of all acts of devotion this is the best for thee: (thereby) thou wilt gain precedence over every one that has outstripped (the rest).”
  • از همه طاعات اینت بهتر است ** سبق یابی بر هر آن سابق که هست‌‌
