- میر آخر بود حق را مصطفی ** بهر استوران نفس پر جفا
- Moved by lovingkindness, He (God) said, “Say, ‘ta‘álaw (come ye), to the end that I may train you: I am the trainer.’”
- قل تعالوا گفت از جذب کرم ** تا ریاضتتان دهم من رایضم
- (The Prophet said), “Since I have trained the carnal souls, I have suffered many kicks from these beasts.
- نفسها را تا مروض کرده‌ام ** زین ستوران بس لگدها خورده‌ام
- Wherever there is one fond of training, he hath no means of avoiding kicks.
- هر کجا باشد ریاضت‌باره‌ای ** از لگدهااش نباشد چاره‌ای
- Of necessity the most affliction falls on the prophets, for ’tis an affliction to give training to the raw (ignorant).
- لاجرم اغلب بلا بر انبیاست ** که ریاضت دادن خامان بلاست

- قل تعالوا قل تعالو گفت رب ** ای ستوران رمیده از ادب
- If they come not, O Prophet, be not grieved: be not full of hatred on account of those twain without steadfastness.’”
- گر نیایند ای نبی غمگین مشو ** زان دو بی‌تمکین تو پر از کین مشو

- گوش بعضی زین تعالواها کرست ** هر ستوری را صطبلی دیگرست
- Some are put to flight by this call: the stall of every horse is separate.
- منهزم گردند بعضی زین ندا ** هست هر اسپی طویله‌ی او جدا
