- (Saying), “Within my mantle there is naught but God: how long wilt thou seek on the earth and in heaven?” 2125
- نیست اندر جبه‌ام الا خدا ** چند جویی بر زمین و بر سما
- All the disciples became frenzied and dashed their knives at his holy body.
- آن مریدان جمله دیوانه شدند ** کاردها در جسم پاکش می‌زدند
- Like the heretics of Girdakúh, every one was ruthlessly stabbing his spiritual Director.
- هر یکی چون ملحدان گرده کوه ** کارد می‌زد پیر خود را بی ستوه
- Every one who plunged a dagger into the Shaykh was reversely making a gash in his own body.
- هر که اندر شیخ تیغی می‌خلید ** بازگونه از تن خود می‌درید
- There was no mark (of a wound) on the body of that possessor of the (mystic) sciences, while those disciples were wounded and drowned in blood.
- یک اثر نه بر تن آن ذوفنون ** وان مریدان خسته و غرقاب خون
- Whoever aimed a blow at his throat saw his own throat cut, and died miserably; 2130
- هر که او سویی گلویش زخم برد ** حلق خود ببریده دید و زار مرد
- And whoever inflicted a blow on his breast, his (own) breast was riven, and he became dead for ever;
- وآنک او را زخم اندر سینه زد ** سینه‌اش بشکافت و شد مرده‌ی ابد
- And he that was acquainted with that (spiritual) emperor of high fortune, (and) his heart (courage) did not consent to strike a heavy blow,
- وآنک آگه بود از آن صاحب‌قران ** دل ندادش که زند زخم گران
- Half-knowledge tied his hand, (so that) he saved his life and only wounded himself.
- نیم‌دانش دست او را بسته کرد ** جان ببرد الا که خود را خسته کرد
- Day broke, and the disciples were thinned: wails of lamentation arose from their house.
- روز گشت و آن مریدان کاسته ** نوحه‌ها از خانه‌شان برخاسته
