- When Luqmán inquired (and ascertained) the cause (of this), he opened his lips to reproach his master.
- چون تفحص کرد لقمان از سبب ** در عتاب خواجه‌‌اش بگشاد لب
- “O sire,” said Luqmán, “an unfaithful servant is not approved in the sight of God. 3590
- گفت لقمان سیدا پیش خدا ** بنده‌‌ی خاین نباشد مرتضا
- Put us all to the test, O noble sir: give us our fill of hot water (to drink),
- امتحان کن جمله‌‌مان را ای کریم ** سیرمان در ده تو از آب حمیم
- And afterwards make us run into a great plain, thou being mounted and we on foot.
- بعد از آن ما را به صحرایی کلان ** تو سواره ما پیاده می‌‌دوان
- Then behold the evil-doer, (behold) the things that are done by Him who revealeth mysteries!”
- آن گهان بنگر تو بد کردار را ** صنعهای کاشف الاسرار را
- The master gave the servants hot water to drink, and they drank it in fear (of him).
- گشت ساقی خواجه از آب حمیم ** مر غلامان را و خوردند آن ز بیم
- Afterwards he was driving them into the plains, and those persons were running up and down. 3595
- بعد از آن می‌‌راندشان در دشتها ** می‌‌دویدندی میان کشتها
- From distress they began to vomit: the (hot) water was bringing up the fruit from them.
- قی در افتادند ایشان از عنا ** آب می‌‌آورد ز یشان میوه‌‌ها
- When Luqmán began to vomit from his navel (belly), there was coming up from within him (only) the pure water.
- چون که لقمان را در آمد قی ز ناف ** می‌‌برآمد از درونش آب صاف
- Inasmuch as Luqmán's wisdom can show forth this, then what must be the wisdom of the Lord of existence!
- حکمت لقمان چو داند این نمود ** پس چه باشد حکمت رب الوجود
