اندرون زهر تریاق آن حفی ** کرد تا گویند ذواللطف الخفی
That (Divine) bounty is not mysterious in (the case of) piety; (but) the (Divine) Forgiveness bestows a robe of honour (even) in (the case of) sin.4345
نیست مخفی در نماز آن مکرمت ** در گنه خلعت نهد آن مغفرت
The unbelievers sought to abase those (the prophets) who were worthy of trust: (that) abasement became exaltation and (the cause of) miracles being displayed.
منکران را قصد اذلال ثقات ** ذل شده عز و ظهور معجزات
In their unbelief they attempted to abase the (true) religion: that very abasement was turned to glory for the prophets.
قصدشان ز انکار ذل دین بده ** عین ذل عز رسولان آمده
How should a judge require (a litigant to give) evidence until his disbelieving opponent has demanded proof of his veracity?
گر نه انکار آمدی از هر بدی ** معجزه و برهان چرا نازل شدی
How should a judge require (a litigant to give) evidence until his disbelieving, opponent has demanded proof of his veracity?
خصم منکر تا نشد مصداقخواه ** کی کند قاضی تقاضای گواه
