Rumi's Masnavi - Hark, shall I tell or should I stop my breath (keep solence)?" Mustafá (Mohammad) bit his lip (in displeasure) at him (Zayd), as though to say, "Enough!"

Hark, shall I tell or should I stop my breath (keep solence)?" Mustafá (Mohammad) bit his lip (in displeasure) at him (Zayd), as though to say, "Enough!"

هین بگویم یا فرو بندم نفس ** لب گزیدش مصطفی یعنی که بس‌‌

“O Messenger of Allah, shall I tell the mystery of the Gathering (on the Day of Judgement), shall I make the Resurrection manifest in the world to-day?

یا رسول الله بگویم سر حشر ** در جهان پیدا کنم امروز نشر

Let me be, that I may rend the curtains asunder, that my (spiritual) substance may shine forth like a sun;

هل مرا تا پرده‌‌ها را بر درم ** تا چو خورشیدی بتابد گوهرم‌‌

That the sun may be eclipsed by me, that I may show (the difference between) the (fruitful) date-palm and the (barren) willow. 3530

تا کسوف آید ز من خورشید را ** تا نمایم نخل را و بید را

I will show forth the mystery of Resurrection, the sterling coin and the coin mixed with alloy,

وا نمایم راز رستاخیز را ** نقد را و نقد قلب آمیز را

The people of the left with their hands cut off; I will show forth the colour of infidelity and the colour of the (Prophet's) folk.

دستها ببریده اصحاب شمال ** وانمایم رنگ کفر و رنگ آل‌‌

I will lay bare the seven rifts (sins) of hypocrisy in the light of the moon that suffers no eclipse or waning.

واگشایم هفت سوراخ نفاق ** در ضیای ماه بی‌‌خسف و محاق‌‌

I will display the woollen frocks of the damned, I will cause the drums and kettledrums of the prophets to be heard.

وانمایم من پلاس اشقیا ** بشنوانم طبل و کوس انبیا

Hell and the Gardens (of Paradise) and the intermediate state I will bring clearly before the eyes of the infidels. 3535

دوزخ و جنات و برزخ در میان ** پیش چشم کافران آرم عیان‌‌

I will display the pond of Kawthar heaving (with waves), which dashes water on their (the blessed ones') faces, (while) its sound (rings) in their ears;

وانمایم حوض کوثر را به جوش ** کآب بر روشان زند بانگش به گوش‌‌
