  • He made the world for kindness' sake: His sun caressed the motes (in its beams).
  • از برای لطف عالم را بساخت ** ذره‏ها را آفتاب او نواخت‏

  • If separation (from Him) is big with His wrath, ’tis for the sake of knowing the worth of union with Him,
  • فرقت از قهرش اگر آبستن است ** بهر قدر وصل او دانستن است‏

  • So that separation from Him may give the soul chastisement, (and that) the soul may know the value of the days of union.
  • تا دهد جان را فراقش گوشمال ** جان بداند قدر ایام وصال‏

  • The Prophet has declared that God said, ‘My purpose in creating was to do good: 2635
  • گفت پیغمبر که حق فرموده است ** قصد من از خلق احسان بوده است‏

  • I created to the intent that they (My creatures) might draw some gain from Me, and that they might smear their hands with My honey;
  • آفریدم تا ز من سودی کنند ** تا ز شهدم دست‏آلودی کنند

  • Not to the end that I might draw some gain (from them), and that I might tear off a coat from one (who is) naked.’
  • نی برای آن که تا سودی کنم ** و ز برهنه من قبایی بر کنم‏

  • During the short while since He drove me from His presence, mine eye hath remained (fixed) upon His beauteous face;
  • چند روزی که ز پیشم رانده است ** چشم من در روی خوبش مانده است‏

  • (And my thought has always been), ‘Such wrath from such a face! Oh, wonderful!’ (whereas) every one (else) has become occupied with (considering) the (secondary) cause (His wrath).
  • کز چنان رویی چنین قهر ای عجب ** هر کسی مشغول گشته در سبب‏

  • I do not look at the cause (His wrath), which is temporal, inasmuch as the temporal (only) produces something temporal (like itself). 2640
  • من سبب را ننگرم کان حادث است ** ز انکه حادث حادثی را باعث است‏

  • I am regarding (His eternally) precedent mercy: whatsoever is temporal I rend in twain.
  • لطف سابق را نظاره می‏کنم ** هر چه آن حادث دو پاره می‏کنم‏
