  • The beginning thereof is concealed, and both the wise man and the ignorant will see the end in (the moment of its) manifestation;
  • اولش پوشیده باشد و آخر آن ** عاقل و جاهل ببیند در عیان

  • (But) if you, O contumacious one, do not see the hidden event (before it comes to pass)—when did the torrent sweep away your prudence? 2200
  • گر نبینی واقعه‌ی غیب ای عنود ** حزم را سیلاب کی اندر ربود

  • What is prudence? To think ill of the world. He (the prudent man) at every moment will (expect to) see a sudden calamity.
  • حزم چه بود بدگمانی بر جهان ** دم بدم بیند بلای ناگهان

  • The ideas of the prudent man.
  • تصورات مرد حازم

  • ’Tis as when a lion has suddenly come up and seized a man and dragged him into the jungle.
  • آنچنانک ناگهان شیری رسید ** مرد را بربود و در بیشه کشید

  • At (the moment of) that carrying off, what will he think of? Consider (this), and think of the same thing, O thou who art learned in the (Mohammedan) Religion.
  • او چه اندیشد در آن بردن ببین ** تو همان اندیش ای استاد دین

  • The lion, Destiny, is dragging into the jungles (of death) our souls which are preoccupied with (worldly) business and trades.
  • می‌کشد شیر قضا در بیشه‌ها ** جان ما مشغول کار و پیشه‌ها

  • That (case) is like (the fact) that the people (of this world) have fear of poverty, plunged (as they are) up to their throats in the briny water. 2205
  • آنچنانک از فقر می‌ترسند خلق ** زیر آب شور رفته تا به حلق

  • If they should fear the Creator of poverty, treasures would be opened to them on the earth.
  • گر بترسندی از آن فقرآفرین ** گنجهاشان کشف گشتی در زمین

  • Through fear of affliction they all are in the very essence of affliction: in their quest for (material) existence they have fallen into non-existence.
  • جمله‌شان از خوف غم در عین غم ** در پی هستی فتاده در عدم

  • Daqúqí's entreaty and intercession for the deliverance of the ship.
  • دعا و شفاعت دقوقی در خلاص کشتی

  • When Daqúqí beheld that turmoil, his pity was stirred and his tears flowed fast.
  • چون دقوقی آن قیامت را بدید ** رحم او جوشید و اشک او دوید

  • He said, “O Lord, do not look at their deeds! Take their hands (to succour them), O auspicious King!

  • Bring them back well and safe to the shore, O Thou whose hand (power) reaches (both) sea and land! 2210

  • O Gracious One, O Merciful and Everlasting One, pass over this wickedness committed by devisers of evil!
  • ای کریم و ای رحیم سرمدی ** در گذار از بدسگالان این بدی

  • O Thou who hast given, free of cost, a hundred eyes and ears, and, without bribe, hast dispensed intellect and understanding;
  • ای بداده رایگان صد چشم و گوش ** بی ز رشوت بخش کرده عقل و هوش

  • Who hast bestowed the gift before the merit (was existent), having suffered from us the whole (sum) of ingratitude and transgression:
  • پیش از استحقاق بخشیده عطا ** دیده از ما جمله کفران و خطا

  • O Almighty One, Thou art able to pardon our great sins in privacy.
  • ای عظیم از ما گناهان عظیم ** تو توانی عفو کردن در حریم

  • We have burnt ourselves from concupiscence and greed, and even this invocation we have learned from Thee. 2215
  • ما ز آز و حرص خود را سوختیم ** وین دعا را هم ز تو آموختیم

  • (We beseech Thee) in reverence for Thy having taught (us) to invoke (Thee) and for having lighted the lamp (of invocation) amidst darkness like this.”
  • حرمت آن که دعا آموختی ** در چنین ظلمت چراغ افروختی

  • Thus was the invocation running on his tongue at that time, like (the words of) faithful mothers.
  • همچنین می‌رفت بر لفظش دعا ** آن زمان چون مادران با وفا

  • The tears were flowing from his eyes, and that invocation was going up to Heaven from him (while he was) beside himself (unconscious).
  • اشک می‌رفت از دو چشمش و آن دعا ** بی خود از وی می بر آمد بر سما

  • That unconscious invocation is, in truth, different: that invocation is not from him (the speaker), it is spoken by the (Divine) Judge.
  • آن دعای بی خودان خود دیگرست ** آن دعا زو نیست گفت داورست

  • God is making that invocation, since he (the speaker) is naughted (faná): the invocation and the answer (to it) are (both) from God. 2220
  • آن دعا حق می‌کند چون او فناست ** آن دعا و آن اجابت از خداست

  • There is not present (at that time) the medium, namely, the created person: body and spirit (alike) are unaware of making that supplication.
  • واسطه‌ی مخلوق نه اندر میان ** بی‌خبر زان لابه کردن جسم و جان

  • The (chosen) servants of God are merciful and long-suffering: they possess the disposition of God in regard to putting things right.
