He hath no fear of missing his chance or of the enemy, for he recognises the King's dominion over the enemy.
آمنست از فوت و از یاغی که او ** میشناسد قهر شه را بر عدو
He hath no fear of the other fellow-servants coming to jostle him and gain the advantage,55
آمنست از خواجهتاشان دگر ** که بیایندش مزاحم صرفهبر
(For) he perceived the King's justice in restraining his followers so that none durst do violence to any one.
عدل شه را دید در ضبط حشم ** که نیارد کرد کس بر کس ستم
Consequently he does not hurry and is calm: he hath no fear of missing his (appointed) portion.
لاجرم نشتابد و ساکن بود ** از فوات حظ خود آمن بود
He hath much deliberation and patience and long-suffering; he is contented and unselfish and pure of heart,
بس تانی دارد و صبر و شکیب ** چشمسیر و مثرست و پاکجیب
For this deliberation is the ray of the Merciful (God), while that haste is from the impulse of the Devil,
کین تانی پرتو رحمان بود ** وان شتاب از هزهی شیطان بود
Because the Devil frightens him (the greedy man) away from poverty and kills the beast of burden, patience, by stabbing.60
زانک شیطانش بترساند ز فقر ** بارگیر صبر را بکشد به عقر
Hear from the Qur’án that the Devil in menace is threatening thee with hard poverty,
از نبی بشنو که شیطان در وعید ** میکند تهدیدت از فقر شدید
That in haste thou mayst eat foul things and take foul things, (having in thee) no generosity, no deliberation, no merit acquired by good works.
تا خوری زشت و بری زشت و شتاب ** نی مروت نیتانی نی ثواب
Necessarily (therefore) the infidel takes his food in seven bowels: his religion and spirit are thin and lean, his belly fat.
لاجرم کافر خورد در هفت بطن ** دین و دل باریک و لاغر زفت بطن
Concerning the occasion of the coming of the Tradition of Mustafá (Mohammed), the blessings of God be upon him, that the infidel takes his food in seven bowels, while the true believer takes his food in one bowel.
