618-627

  • Our humility is evidence of necessity, (but) our sense of guilt is evidence of freewill.
  • زاری ما شد دلیل اضطرار ** خجلت ما شد دلیل اختیار

  • If there were not freewill, what is this shame? And what is this sorrow and guilty confusion and abashment?
  • گر نبودی اختیار این شرم چیست ** وین دریغ و خجلت و آزرم چیست‌‌

  • Why is there chiding between pupils and masters? Why is the mind changing (so as to depart) from plans (already formed)? 620
  • زجر استادان و شاگردان چراست ** خاطر از تدبیرها گردان چراست‌‌

  • And if you say that he (the assertor of free-will) takes no heed of the (Divine) compulsion, (and that) God's moon (majesty) hides its face (from him) in the cloud (of his own blindness),
  • ور تو گویی غافل است از جبر او ** ماه حق پنهان کند در ابر رو

  • There is a good answer to this; if you hearken, you will relinquish unbelief and incline towards the (true) religion.
  • هست این را خوش جواب ار بشنوی ** بگذری از کفر و در دین بگروی‌‌

  • Remorse and humility occur at the time of illness: the time of illness is wholly wakefulness (of conscience).
  • حسرت و زاری گه بیماری است ** وقت بیماری همه بیداری است‌‌

  • At the time when you are becoming ill, you pray God to forgive your trespass;
  • آن زمان که می‌‌شوی بیمار تو ** می‌‌کنی از جرم استغفار تو

  • The foulness of your sin is shown to you, you resolve to come back to the (right) way; 625
  • می‌‌نماید بر تو زشتی گنه ** می‌‌کنی نیت که باز آیم به ره‌‌

  • You make promises and vows that henceforth your chosen course (of action) will be nothing but obedience (to God):
  • عهد و پیمان می‌‌کنی که بعد از این ** جز که طاعت نبودم کار گزین‌‌

  • Therefore it has become certain that illness gives to you conscience and wakefulness.
  • پس یقین گشت این که بیماری ترا ** می‌‌ببخشد هوش و بیداری ترا
