- گفت اسبابی پدید آرم عیان ** از تب و قولنج و سرسام و سنان
- For (so) I will turn their attention from thee to the diseases and threefold causes (of death).”
- که بگردانم نظرشان را ز تو ** در مرضها و سببهای سه تو
- He (Azrael) replied, “O Lord, there are also servants (of Thine) who rend (shatter the illusion of) causes, O Almighty.”
- گفت یا رب بندگان هستند نیز ** که سببها را بدرند ای عزیز
- Their eye pierces through the cause: by the grace of the Lord, it has passed beyond (all) veils. 1700
- چشمشان باشد گذاره از سبب ** در گذشته از حجب از فضل رب
- It has obtained the collyrium of Unity from the oculist of ecstasy and has been delivered from ailment and infirmity.
- سرمهی توحید از کحال حال ** یافته رسته ز علت و اعتلال
- They do not look at fever and dysentery and consumption: they do not admit these causes into their heart;
- ننگرند اندر تب و قولنج و سل ** راه ندهند این سببها را به دل
- For every one of these diseases has its cure: when it becomes incurable, that is the act of the (Divine) Decree.
- زانک هر یک زین مرضها را دواست ** چون دوا نپذیرد آن فعل قضاست
- Know for certain that every disease has its cure, as (for example) a fur is the cure for the pain of cold;
- هر مرض دارد دوا میدان یقین ** چون دوای رنج سرما پوستین
- (Yet), when God wills that a man shall be frozen, the cold penetrates even a hundred furs 1705
- چون خدا خواهد که مردی بفسرد ** سردی از صد پوستین هم بگذرد
- And puts into his body a tremor that will not be made better by (wrapping himself in) clothes or by (snuggling in) the house.
- در وجودش لرزهای بنهد که آن ** نه به جامه به شود نه از آشیان
