  • Behold such hypocrisy by day and profligacy by night!––in the daytime (he is) like Mustafá (Mohammed), at night (like) Bú Lahab.
  • بنگر آن سالوس روز و فسق شب ** روز همچون مصطفی شب بو لهب‏

  • By day his name has become ‘Abdullah (the servant of God); by night––God save us! And (see), the wine-cup in his hand!”
  • روز عبد الله او را گشته نام ** شب نعوذ بالله و در دست جام‏

  • He (the disciple) saw a full glass in the Shaykh’s hand. “O Shaykh,” said he, “is there a tumour even in thee?
  • دید شیشه در کف آن پیر پر ** گفت شیخا مر ترا هم هست غر

  • Nonne dicebas?— ‘In vini poculo mingit Diabolus festinans lente’.” [Did you not say, ‘The Devil pees into the wine cup quickly (but) without hurry?’] 3405
  • تو نمی‏گفتی که در جام شراب ** دیو می‏میزد شتابان ناشتاب‏

  • He (the Shaykh) replied, “They have made my cup so full that there is not room in it for a single rue-seed.
  • گفت جامم را چنان پر کرده‏اند ** کاندر او اندر نگنجد یک سپند

  • Look, is there any room here for a single mote? A deluded man has wrongly apprehended this matter.”
  • بنگر اینجا هیچ گنجد ذره‏ای ** این سخن را کژ شنیده غره‏ای‏

  • This is not the apparent cup (or) the apparent wine: deem this (allegation) far from (far below the dignity of) the Shaykh who sees the Unseen.
  • جام ظاهر خمر ظاهر نیست این ** دور دار این را ز شیخ غیب بین‏

  • The wine-cup, O fool, is the being of the Shaykh, in qua (essentia) urina Diaboli non continetur.” [The wine cup, O fool, is the being of the Shaykh, in which the Devil’s urine is not contained.]
  • جام می هستی شیخ است ای فلیو ** کاندر او اندر نگنجد بول دیو

  • He is full and brimming with the Light of God: he has shattered the bodily cup, he is the Absolute Light. 3410
  • پر و مالامال از نور حق است ** جام تن بشکست نور مطلق است‏

  • If sunlight fall upon filth, it is the same light (still): it suffers no defilement.
  • نور خورشید ار بیفتد بر حدث ** او همان نور است نپذیرد خبث‏

  • The Shaykh said, “Indeed this is not a cup, nor (is this) wine. Hey, unbeliever, come down and look at it!”
  • شیخ گفت این خود نه جام است و نه می ** هین به زیر آن منکرا بنگر به وی‏

  • He came, and saw it was fine honey. That miserable enemy (of God) became blind (with shame and confusion).
  • آمد و دید انگبین خاص بود ** کور شد آن دشمن کور و کبود

  • Thereupon the Pír said to his disciple, “Go, seek wine for me, O noble sir;
  • گفت پیر آن دم مرید خویش را ** رو برای من بجو می ای کیا

  • For I have a pain; I am reduced to necessity: because of the pain, I have passed beyond starvation. 3415
  • که مرا رنجی است مضطر گشته‏ام ** من ز رنج از مخمصه بگذشته‏ام‏

  • In sore need any carcase is clean (lawful to eat)––may curses fall like dust on the head of him that denies it!”
  • در ضرورت هست هر مردار پاک ** بر سر منکر ز لعنت باد خاک‏

  • The disciple went round the wine-cellar, tasting of every jar on the Shaykh’s behalf.
  • گرد خمخانه بر آمد آن مرید ** بهر شیخ از هر خمی او می‏چشید

  • In all the wine-cellars (that he visited) he found no wine the jars of wine had become full of honey.
  • در همه خمخانه‏ها او می ندید ** گشته بد پر از عسل خم نبید

  • He said, “O topers, what state of things is this? What is the matter? I find no wine in any jar.”
  • گفت ای رندان چه حال است این چه کار ** هیچ خمی در نمی‏بینم عقار

  • All the topers came to that Shaykh, weeping and beating their heads with their hands. 3420
  • جمله رندان نزد آن شیخ آمدند ** چشم گریان دست بر سر می‏زدند

  • (They said), “Thou camest into the tavern, O most exalted Shaykh, and in consequence of thy coming-all the wines have turned to honey.
  • در خرابات آمدی شیخ اجل ** جمله می‏ها از قدومت شد عسل‏

  • Thou hast changed the wine (and purified it) from filth change our souls also (and purify them) from defilement!”
  • کرده ای مبدل تو می را از حدث ** جان ما را هم بدل کن از خبث‏

  • If the (whole) world be filled to the brim with blood, how should the servant of God drink aught but what is hallowed?
  • گر شود عالم پر از خون مال مال ** کی خورد بنده‏ی خدا الا حلال‏

  • How ‘Á’isha—may God be well-pleased with her!—said to Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, “Thou performest the prayer anywhere, without a prayer-carpet. How is that?”
  • گفتن عایشه مصطفی را علیه السلام که تو بی‏مصلا به هر جا نماز می‏کنی چون است‏

  • One day ‘Á’isha said to the Prophet, “O Messenger of Allah, openly and secretly
  • عایشه روزی به پیغمبر بگفت ** یا رسول الله تو پیدا و نهفت‏
