- He said, ‘O Lord, if Thou hast elect ones whose prayers are blessed and whose feet (comings and goings) are auspicious,
- گفت یا رب گر ترا خاصان هی‌اند ** که مبارک‌دعوت و فرخ‌پی‌اند
- I entreat that Thy grace may become an alchemist (may work a transmutation) and that this bundle of firewood may be turned into gold at this moment.’
- لطف تو خواهم که میناگر شود ** این زمان این تنگ هیزم زر شود
- Immediately I saw that his firewood was turned into gold, gleaming brightly on the ground, like fire.
- در زمان دیدم که زر شد هیزمش ** هم‌چو آتش بر زمین می‌تافت خوش
- Thereat I became beside myself for a long while. When I came to myself (again) out of (that) bewilderment, 705
- من در آن بی‌خود شدم تا دیرگه ** چونک با خویش آمدم من از وله
- He said afterwards, ‘O God, if those great ones (the saints) are very jealous and are fleeing from celebrity,
- بعد از آن گفت ای خداگر آن کبار ** بس غیورند و گریزان ز اشتهار
- At once, without delay, make this (gold) a bundle of firewood again, just as it was (before).’
- باز این را بند هیزم ساز زود ** بی‌توقف هم بر آن حالی که بود
- Immediately those branches of gold turned into firewood: the intellect and the sight were intoxicated (amazed) at his (miraculous) work.
- در زمان هیزم شد آن اغصان زر ** مست شد در کار او عقل و نظر
- After that, he took up the firewood and went from me in hot haste towards the town.
- بعد از آن برداشت هیزم را و رفت ** سوی شهر از پیش من او تیز و تفت
- I wished to follow that (spiritual) king and ask him about (some) difficulties and hear (his answer); 710
- خواستم تا در پی آن شه روم ** پرسم از وی مشکلات و بشنوم
- (But) the awe (which he inspired) made me (as though I were) bound: the vulgar have no way (admission) to the presence of the elect.”
- بسته کرد آن هیبت او مر مرا ** پیش خاصان ره نباشد عامه را
