Saying, “By the truth of this holy and true Word (we swear) that the building of the Mosque is for God's sake.
که به حق این کلام پاک راست ** کان بنای مسجد از بهر خداست
In that place there is no contrivance and deceit: in that place there is (only) commemoration (of God) and sincerity and calling unto the Lord.”
اندر آن جا هیچ مکر و حیله نیست ** اندر آن جا ذکر و صدق و یا ربی است
The Prophet answered, “The voice of God is coming into my ear like an echo.2880
گفت پیغمبر که آواز خدا ** میرسد در گوش من همچون صدا
God hath put a seal upon your ears, so that they make not haste to (hear) the voice of God.
مهر در گوش شما بنهاد حق ** تا به آواز خدا نارد سبق
Lo, the voice of God is coming to me distinctly: it is filtered clear for me, like the pure (liquor) from the dregs”—
نک صریح آواز حق میآیدم ** همچو صاف از درد میپالایدم
Even as Moses from the direction of the Bush heard the voice of God saying, “O thou of blessed fortune!”
همچنان که موسی از سوی درخت ** بانگ حق بشنید کای مسعود بخت
From the Bush he was hearing (the words), “Lo, I am Allah,” and together with the words there appeared (Divine) lights.
از درخت إنی أنا الله میشنید ** با کلام انوار میآمد پدید
Inasmuch as they (the Hypocrites) were left in the lurch by the light of (Divine) inspiration, they once more began to recite oaths anew.2885
چون ز نور وحی در میماندند ** باز نو سوگندها میخواندند
Since God calls an oath a shield, how should the quarreller lay down the shield from his hand?
چون خدا سوگند را خواند سپر ** کی نهد اسپر ز کف پیکارگر
Again the Prophet, giving (them) the lie direct, said to them in plain terms, “Ye have lied.”
باز پیغمبر به تکذیب صریح ** قد کذبتم گفت با ایشان فصیح
How one of the Companions—may God be well-pleased with them!—thought (to himself) disapprovingly, “Why does not the Prophet—God bless and save him!—throw a veil (over their hypocrisy)?”
