(Namely), “Hasan will be my disciple and my true follower (umma), and will receive lessons from my tomb at every dawn.”
که حسن باشد مرید و امتم ** درس گیرد هر صباح از تربتم
He (Abu ’l-Hasan) said, “I have also seen him in a dream and have heard this from the spirit of the Shaykh.”
گفت من هم نیز خوابش دیده‌ام ** وز روان شیخ این بشنیده‌ام
Every dawn he would set his face towards the grave and stand (there) in attention till the forenoon,
هر صباحی رو نهادی سوی گور ** ایستادی تا ضحی اندر حضور
And either the apparition of the Shaykh would come to him, or without anything spoken his difficulty would be solved,
یا مثال شیخ پیشش آمدی ** یا که بی‌گفتی شکالش حل شدی
Till one day he came auspiciously (to visit the grave): the graves were covered with new-fallen snow.1930
تا یکی روزی بیامد با سعود ** گورها را برف نو پوشیده بود
He saw the snows, wreath on wreath like flags, mound (piled) on mound; and his soul was grieved.
توی بر تو برفها هم‌چون علم ** قبه قبه دیده و شد جانش به غم
From the shrine of the (spiritually) living Shaykh came to him a cry, “Hark, I call thee that thou mayst run to me.
بانگش آمد از حظیره‌ی شیخ حی ** ها انا ادعوک کی تسعی الی
Hey, come quickly in this direction, towards my voice: if the world is (full of) snow, (yet) do not turn thy face away from me.”
هین بیا این سو بر آوازم شتاب ** عالم ار برفست روی از من متاب
From that day his (spiritual) state became excellent, and he saw (experienced) those wondrous things which at first he was (only) hearing (knowing by hearsay).
حال او زان روز شد خوب و بدید ** آن عجایب را که اول می‌شنید
How the slave wrote another letter to the king when he received no reply to the first letter.
رقعه‌ی دیگر نوشتن آن غلام پیش شاه چون جواب آن رقعه‌ی اول نیافت
That evil-thinking one wrote another letter, full of vituperation and clamour and loud complaint.1935
نامه‌ی دیگر نوشت آن بدگمان ** پر ز تشنیع و نفیر و پر فغان
