You may say, “How should a man of God bring into view the thought of (take any thought of) human beings beside God?”
تو بگویی مرد حق اندر نظر ** کی در آرد با خدا ذکر بشر
You are in a hole here, O so-and-so, because you have regarded them as flesh, not as spirit.
خر ازین می‌خسپد اینجا ای فلان ** که بشر دیدی تو ایشان را نه جان
You have come to ruin, O foolish man, because like the vulgar you regarded them as human beings.
کار ازین ویران شدست ای مرد خام ** که بشر دیدی مر ایشان را چو عام
You have regarded (them) in the same way as the accursed Iblís (regarded Adam): he said, “I am of fire, (while) Adam is of earth.”
تو همان دیدی که ابلیس لعین ** گفت من از آتشم آدم ز طین
Bandage your Satanic eye for one moment: how long, pray, will you regard the (external) form? How long, how long?2300
چشم ابلیسانه را یک دم ببند ** چند بینی صورت آخر چند چند
O Daqúqí with (thy) streaming eyes, come, do not abandon hope: seek them!
ای دقوقی با دو چشم همچو جو ** هین مبر اومید ایشان را بجو
Come, seek (them), for search is the pillar (foundation) of fortune: every success consists in (depends on) fixing the heart (upon the object of desire).
هین بجو که رکن دولت جستن است ** هر گشادی در دل اندر بستن است
Unconcerned with all the business of the world, keep saying with (all) thy soul kú, kú, like the dove.
از همه کار جهان پرداخته ** کو و کو می‌گو بجان چون فاخته
Consider this well, O thou who art veiled (by worldliness), that God hath tied “invocation” to “I will answer.”
نیک بنگر اندرین ای محتجب ** که دعا را بست حق در استجب
Whosoever's heart is purged of infirmity, his invocation will go unto the Lord of glory.2305
هر که را دل پاک شد از اعتلال ** آن دعااش می‌رود تا ذوالجلال
Explaining further the story of him who in the time of David, on whom be peace, sought to receive (from God) lawful means of livelihood without working or taking trouble, and how his prayer was answered favourably.
