Moreover, (the Divine) Mercy exercised the furrier's craft on me and bestowed on me a repentance sweet as life.
باز رحمت پوستین دوزیم کرد ** توبه‌ی شیرین چو جان روزیم کرد
Whatever (ill deeds) I had done, it took them as not having been done; and my undone (acts of) obedience it took as having been performed.
هر چه کردم جمله ناکرده گرفت ** طاعت ناکرده آورده گرفت
It made me free (pure and noble) as the cypress and the lily; it made me glad of heart as fortune and felicity.
هم‌چو سرو و سوسنم آزاد کرد ** هم‌چو بخت و دولتم دلشاد کرد
It inscribed my name in the register of the righteous: I was one doomed to Hell; it gave me Paradise.2310
نام من در نامه‌ی پاکان نوشت ** دوزخی بودم ببخشیدم بهشت
(When) I cried ‘Alas,’ my ‘Alas’ became a rope, and the rope was let down into my well.
آه کردم چون رسن شد آه من ** گشت آویزان رسن در چاه من
I clutched that rope and climbed out: I became glad and strong and stout and rosy.
آن رسن بگرفتم و بیرون شدم ** شاد و زفت و فربه و گلگون شدم
(Formerly) I was lying in misery at the bottom of a well: now I am not contained in the whole world.
در بن چاهی همی‌بودم زبون ** در همه عالم نمی‌گنجم کنون
Praises be unto Thee, O God! Thou didst suddenly put me afar from sorrow.
آفرینها بر تو بادا ای خدا ** ناگهان کردی مرا از غم جدا
If the tip of every hair of me should gain a tongue (power to speak), (yet) the thanks due to Thee are inexpressible.2315
گر سر هر موی من یابد زبان ** شکرهای تو نیاید در بیان
Amidst these gardens and fountains I am crying to the people, ‘Oh, would that my folk did but know!’”
می‌زنم نعره درین روضه و عیون ** خلق را یا لیت قومی یعلمون
How the princess again invited Nasúh to shampoo her, after his repentance had taken firm hold and was accepted (by God), and how he made an excuse and refused to comply.
