(Indicating) that the prayer (uttered by him) is (inseparably) linked with acceptance, (and that) the greatest of men and Jinn are not his peers.
کان دعا شد با اجابت مقترن ** کفو او نبود کبار انس و جن
(When) those who are sweet or sour (engage) in contention with him, in God's sight their argument is null,
در مریاش آنک حلو و حامض است ** حجت ایشان بر حق داحض است
For (God says), “As We have exalted him by (grace of) Ourselves, We have done away with (every) plea and argument (against him).”2625
که چو ما او را به خود افراشتیم ** عذر و حجت از میان بر داشتیم
Since the Hand of God has made the Qibla manifest, henceforth deem searching to be disallowed.
قبله را چون کرد دست حق عیان ** پس تحری بعد ازین مردود دان
Hark, avert your face and head from searching, now that the Destination and Dwelling-place has come into view.
هین بگردان از تحری رو و سر ** که پدید آمد معاد و مستقر
If you forget this Qibla for one moment, you will become in thrall to every worthless qibla (object of desire).
یک زمان زین قبله گر ذاهل شوی ** سخرهی هر قبلهی باطل شوی
When you show ingratitude to him that gives you discernment, the thought that recognises the Qibla will dart away from you.
چون شوی تمییزده را ناسپاس ** بجهد از تو خطرت قبلهشناس
If you desire benefit and (spiritual) wheat from this Barn, do not part, even for half an hour, from those who sympathise,2630
گر ازین انبار خواهی بر و بر ** نیمساعت هم ز همدردان مبر
For at the moment when you part from this helper you will be afflicted with an evil comrade
که در آن دم که ببری زین معین ** مبتلی گردی تو با بس القرین
Story of the attachment between the mouse and the frog: how they tied their legs together with a long string, and how a raven carried off the mouse, and how the frog was suspended (in the air) and lamented and repented of having attached himself to an animal of a different species instead of sorting with one of his own kind.
حکایت تعلق موش با چغز و بستن پای هر دو به رشتهای دراز و بر کشیدن زاغ موش را و معلق شدن چغز و نالیدن و پشیمانی او از تعلق با غیر جنس و با جنس خود ناساختن
As it happened, a mouse and a faithful frog had become friends on the bank of a river.
از قضا موشی و چغزی با وفا ** بر لب جو گشته بودند آشنا
