  • He whom Thou wishest to make sorrow-stricken—Thou dost bar against his heart the way to lamentation,
  • آن که خواهی کز غمش خسته کنی  ** راه زاری بر دلش بسته کنی 

  • In order that affliction may descend (upon him) without (there being) anything to repel it, when there is no intercessor (in the form) of humble entreaty;
  • تا فرو آید بلا بی‌دافعی  ** چون نباشد از تضرع شافعی 

  • And (on the other hand) Thou dost lead to humble entreaty the spirit of him whom Thou wishest to redeem from affliction.
  • وانک خواهی کز بلااش وا خری  ** جان او را در تضرع آوری 

  • Thou hast said in the Qur’án that (as regards) those peoples on which that heavy vengeance fell,
  • گفته‌ای اندر نبی که آن امتان  ** که بریشان آمد آن قهر گران 

  • ’Twas because at that moment they would not make humble entreaty that the affliction might be averted from them; 1605
  • چون تضرع می‌نکردند آن نفس  ** تا بلا زیشان بگشتی باز پس 

  • But since their hearts had been hardened, their sins appeared (to them) as obedient service (rendered to God).
  • لیک دلهاشان چون قاسی گشته بود  ** آن گنههاشان عبادت می‌نمود 

  • Until the sinner deems himself rebellious, how can tears run from his eye?
  • تا نداند خویش را مجرم عنید  ** آب از چشمش کجا داند دوید 

  • The Story of the people of Yúnus (Jonah), on whom be peace, is a demonstration and manifest proof that humble entreaty and lamentation avert affliction sent from Heaven. And God most High acts by free choice: therefore humble entreaty and reverence avail with Him. The philosophers, however, say that He acts by (the necessity of His) nature and as a cause, not by free choice: therefore humble entreaty (is useless, for it) cannot alter nature.
  • قصه‌ی قوم یونس علیه‌السلام بیان و برهان آنست کی تضرع و زاری دافع بلای آسمانیست و حق تعالی فاعل مختارست پس تضرع و تعظیم پیش او مفید باشد و فلاسفه گویند فاعل به طبع است و بعلت نه مختار پر تضرع طبع را نگرداند 

  • When the affliction became visible to the people of Yúnus, a cloud full of fire departed (descended) from heaven.
  • قوم یونس را چو پیدا شد بلا  ** ابر پر آتش جدا شد از سما 

  • It was shooting (flashes of) lightning, the rocks were burning; the cloud was roaring, cheeks were shedding colour.
  • برق می‌انداخت می‌سوزید سنگ  ** ابر می‌غرید رخ می‌ریخت رنگ 

  • All (the people) were on the roofs at night, when that woe came into view from on high. 1610
  • جملگان بر بامها بودند شب  ** که پدید آمد ز بالا آن کرب
