The reprobates of the Religion have indeed no equipment but cunning and deceit and contentiousness.2905
مر سیه رویان دین را خود جهیز ** نیست الا حیلت و مکر و ستیز
Every Companion saw plainly (in sleep) some vision of that Mosque, so that the secret (purpose) of it became to them certain knowledge.
هر صحابی دید ز آن مسجد عیان ** واقعه تا شد یقینشان سر آن
If I should relate the visions, one by one, then the purity (of the Companions) would become certain to them that doubt;
واقعات ار باز گویم یک به یک ** پس یقین گردد صفا بر اهل شک
But I am afraid of revealing their mystery: they are the disdainful loved ones (of God), and disdain beseems them.
لیک میترسم ز کشف رازشان ** نازنینانند و زیبد نازشان
They have received the (religious) Law (directly from God) without mechanical imitation (of others): they have taken that (unadulterated) coin without (applying) the touchstone.
شرع بیتقلید میپذرفتهاند ** بیمحک آن نقد را بگرفتهاند
The Wisdom of the Qur’án is like the true believer's stray camel: every one has certain (intuitive) knowledge of his own stray.2910
حکمت قرآن چو ضالهی مومن است ** هر کسی در ضالهی خود موقن است
Story of the person who was seeking after his stray camel and inquiring about it.
قصهی آن شخص که اشتر ضالهی خود میجست و میپرسید
(If) you have lost a camel and sought it busily, how should you not know,when you find it, that it is yours?
اشتری گم کردی و جستیش چست ** چون بیابی چون ندانی کان تست
What is the stray? You have lost a she-camel: (she has) fled from your herd into a veil (of concealment).
ضاله چه بود ناقهای گم کردهای ** از کفت بگریخته در پردهای
The caravaneers have begun to load, (but) your camel has disappeared from the midst (of the caravan).
آمده در بار کردن کاروان ** اشتر تو ز آن میان گشته نهان
You are running to and fro with parched lips; the caravan is (now) far away, and night is near.
میدوی این سو و آن سو خشک لب ** کاروان شد دور و نزدیک است شب
