  • He (the false Súfí) is (only) the figure of a Súfí: he has no soul (life); accordingly, the (true) Súfís get a bad name from Súfís such as these.
  • نقش صوفی باشد او را نیست جان  ** صوفیان بدنام هم زین صوفیان 

  • Upon the door and wall of the body moulded of clay God, in His jealousy, traced the figures of a hundred Súfís (of this sort),
  • بر در و دیوار جسم گل‌سرشت  ** حق ز غیرت نقش صد صوفی نبشت 

  • To the end that by means of magic those figures should move and that Moses' rod should be hidden.
  • تا ز سحر آن نقشها جنبان شود  ** تا عصای موسوی پنهان شود 

  • The truth of the rod swallows up the figures, (but) the Pharaoh-like eye is filled with dust and gravel (and cannot see).
  • نقشها را میخورد صدق عصا  ** چشم فرعونیست پر گرد و حصا 

  • Another Súfí entered the battle-line twenty times for the purpose of fighting 3810
  • صوفی دیگر میان صف حرب  ** اندر آمد بیست بار از بهر ضرب 

  • Along with the Moslems when they attacked the infidels; he did not fall back with the Moslems in their retreat.
  • با مسلمانان به کافر وقت کر  ** وانگشت او با مسلمانان به فر 

  • He was wounded, but he bandaged the wound which he had received, and once more advanced to the charge and combat,
  • زخم خورد و بست زخمی را که خورد  ** بار دیگر حمله آورد و نبرد 

  • In order that his body might not die cheaply at one blow and that he might receive twenty blows in the battle.
  • تا نمیرد تن به یک زخم از گزاف  ** تا خورد او بیست زخم اندر مصاف 

  • To him it was anguish that he should give up his soul at one blow and that his soul should escape lightly from the hand of his fortitude.
  • حیفش آمد که به زخمی جان دهد  ** جان ز دست صدق او آسان رهد 

  • Story of the (spiritual) warrior who every day used to take one dirhem separately from a purse containing (pieces of) silver and throw it into a ditch (full of water) for the purpose of thwarting the greed and cupidity of his fleshly soul; and how his soul tempted him, saying, “Since you are going to throw (this money) into the ditch, at least throw it away all at once, so that I may gain deliverance, for despair is one of the two (possible) reliefs”; and how he replied, “I will not give thee this relief either.”
  • حکایت آن مجاهد کی از همیان سیم هر روز یک درم در خندق انداختی به تفاریق از بهر ستیزه‌ی حرص و آرزوی نفس و وسوسه‌ی نفس کی چون می‌اندازی به خندق باری به یک‌بار بینداز تا خلاص یابم کی الیاس احدی الراحتین او گفته کی این راحت نیز ندهم
