“O slave, now behold thy water-skin full (of water), that thou mayst not say (anything) good or bad in complaint.”
ای غلام اکنون تو پر بین مشک خود ** تا نگویی درشکایت نیک و بد
The negro was astounded at his (the Prophet's) evidentiary miracle: his faith was dawning from (the world of) non-spatiality.
آن سیه حیران شد از برهان او ** می‌دمید از لامکان ایمان او
He saw that a fountain had begun to pour from the air (of yonder world) and that his water-skin had become a veil to the emanation of that (fountain).3165
چشمه‌ای دید از هوا ریزان شده ** مشک او روپوش فیض آن شده
The veils also were rent by that (illumined) sight (of his), so that he distinctly beheld the fountain of the Unseen.
زان نظر روپوشها هم بر درید ** تا معین چشمه‌ی غیبی بدید
Thereupon the slave's eyes were filled with tears: he forgot his master and his dwelling-place.
چشمها پر آب کرد آن دم غلام ** شد فراموشش ز خواجه وز مقام
Strength failed him to go on his way: God cast a mighty commotion into his soul.
دست و پایش ماند از رفتن به راه ** زلزله افکند در جانش اله
Then again he (the Prophet) drew him back for (his) good, saying, “Come to thyself; return, O thou who wilt gain advantage (by doing so).
باز بهر مصلحت بازش کشید ** که به خویش آ باز رو ای مستفید
’Tis not the time for bewilderment: bewilderment is in front of thee; just now advance on thy way briskly and speedily.”3170
وقت حیرت نیست حیرت پیش تست ** این زمان در ره در آ چالاک و چست
He (the slave) laid the hands of Mustafá (Mohammed) on his face and gave (them) many loving kisses.
دستهای مصطفی بر رو نهاد ** بوسه‌های عاشقانه بس بداد
Then Mustafá rubbed his blessed hand on his (the slave's) face and made it fortunate.
مصطفی دست مبارک بر رخش ** آن زمان مالید و کرد او فرخش
