1703-1712

  • 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 

  • When the Decree comes, the physician is made foolish, and the medicine too loses its beneficial effect.
  • چون قضا آید طبیب ابله شود  ** وان دوا در نفع هم گمره شود 

  • How should the perception of the (mystic) seer be veiled by these (secondary) causes, which are a veil to catch the dolt?
  • کی شود محجوب ادراک بصیر  ** زین سببهای حجاب گول‌گیر 

  • When the eye is quite perfect, it sees the root (origin); when a man is squint-eyed, it sees the branch (derivative).
  • اصل بیند دیده چون اکمل بود  ** فرع بیند چونک مرد احول بود 

  • The (Divine) answer, (namely), “One who does not regard causes and diseases and sword-wounds will likewise pay no regard to thy action, O Azrael, for thou too art a (secondary) cause, although thou art more concealed than those (other) causes.” And maybe it (the real nature of Azrael) is not concealed from the sick (dying) man, for He (God) is nigher to him than ye are, but ye do not see.
  • جواب آمدن کی آنک نظر او بر اسباب و مرض و زخم تیغ نیاید بر کار تو عزرائیل هم نیاید کی تو هم سببی اگر چه مخفی‌تری از آن سببها و بود کی بر آن رنجور مخفی نباشد کی و هو اقرب الیه منکم و لکن لا تبصرون 

  • God said, “He who perceives the origin (does not regard the derivative): how, then, should he be conscious of thy intervention? 1710
  • گفت یزدان آنک باشد اصل دان  ** پس ترا کی بیند او اندر میان 

  • Although thou hast concealed thyself (thy real nature) from the vulgar, still to the clear-eyed (mystics) thou art (no more than) a veil (instrument).”
  • گرچه خویش را عامه پنهان کرده‌ای  ** پیش روشن‌دیدگان هم پرده‌ای 

  • And (indeed) those to whom death is (sweet) as sugar—how should their sight be intoxicated (dazzled) with the fortunes (of this world)?
  • وانک ایشان را شکر باشد اجل  ** چون نظرشان مست باشد در دول
