  • The intoxication of that one (the angel) breaks (reduces to insignificance) the intoxication of this one (the human being): how should he (the angel) show any propensity to lust?
  • مستی آن مستی این بشکند ** او به شهوت التفاتی کی کند

  • Until you have drunk sweet water, briny water is sweet, sweet as the light in the eye;
  • آب شیرین تا نخوردی آب شور ** خوش بود خوش چون درون دیده نور

  • (But) a single drop of the wines of Heaven causes the soul to be rapt away from the wine and cupbearers (of this world)—
  • قطره‌ای از باده‌های آسمان ** بر کند جان را ز می وز ساقیان

  • So that (you may imagine) what intoxications befall the angels and the spirits purified by the Divine glory,
  • تا چه مستیها بود املاک را ** وز جلالت روحهای پاک را

  • Who have set their hearts on that wine at one smell (of it), and have broken the jar of this world's wine;— 825
  • که به بوی دل در آن می بسته‌اند ** خم باده‌ی این جهان بشکسته‌اند

  • Except, maybe, them that are in despair and far (from God), (outcasts) like infidels hidden (buried) in graves,
  • جز مگر آنها که نومیدند و دور ** همچو کفاری نهفته در قبور

  • (Them that) have lost all hope of both worlds and have sown thorns without end.
  • ناامید از هر دو عالم گشته‌اند ** خارهای بی‌نهایت کشته‌اند

  • Therefore they (Hárút and Márút), because of their feelings of intoxication, said, “Alas, we would rain upon the earth, like clouds;
  • پس ز مستیها بگفتند ای دریغ ** بر زمین باران بدادیمی چو میغ

  • We would spread in this place of injustice (a carpet of) justice and equity and devotions and faithfulness.”
  • گستریدیمی درین بی‌داد جا ** عدل و انصاف و عبادات و وفا

  • This they said, and the Divine decree was saying (to them), “Stop! Before your feet there is many an unseen pitfall.” 830
  • این بگفتند و قضا می‌گفت بیست ** پیش پاتان دام ناپیدا بسیست

  • Beware, do not run boldly into the desert of woe! Beware, do not push on blindly into the Karbalá (of tribulation),
  • هین مدو گستاخ در دشت بلا ** هین مران کورانه اندر کربلا

  • For because of the hair and bones of the perished the travellers' feet find no way.
  • که ز موی و استخوان هالکان ** می‌نیابد راه پای سالکان

  • The whole way is (covered with) bones and hair and sinews: many is the thing that the sword of Vengeance hath made nothing.
  • جمله‌ی راه استخوان و موی و پی ** بس که تیغ قهر لاشی کرد شی

  • God hath said that (His) servants (who are) attended by (His) help walk on the earth quietly and meekly.
  • گفت حق که بندگان جفت عون ** بر زمین آهسته می‌رانند و هون

  • How should a bare-footed man go into the thorn-thicket save with halting and reflection and cautiously? 835
  • پا برهنه چون رود در خارزار ** جز بوقفه و فکرت و پرهیزگار

  • The Decree was saying this (to them), but their ears were closed in the (muffling) veil of their hotheadedness.
  • این قضا می‌گفت لیکن گوششان ** بسته بود اندر حجاب جوششان

  • (All) eyes and ears have been closed, except for them that have escaped from themselves.
  • چشمها و گوشها را بسته‌اند ** جز مر آنها را که از خود رسته‌اند

  • Who but Grace shall open the eyes? Who but Love shall allay the (Divine) Wrath?
  • جز عنایت که گشاید چشم را ** جز محبت که نشاند خشم را

  • Truly, may no one in the world have toil without (God's) prospering (it)! And God best knoweth the right course.
  • جهد بی توفیق خود کس را مباد ** در جهان والله اعلم بالسداد

  • The Story of Pharaoh's dream of the coming of Moses, on whom be peace, and how he took thought to relieve himself (of the threatened danger).
  • قصه‌ی خواب دیدن فرعون آمدن موسی را علیه السلام و تدارک اندیشیدن

  • Inasmuch as Pharaoh's toil was unblest (by God), whatsoever he would stitch, that (stitching) was (in effect an act of) ripping asunder. 840
  • جهد فرعونی چو بی توفیق بود ** هرچه او می‌دوخت آن تفتیق بود

  • He had a thousand astrologers at his beck, and also a countless multitude of dream-interpreters and magicians.
  • از منجم بود در حکمش هزار ** وز معبر نیز و ساحر بی‌شمار

  • There was shown to him in a dream the coming of Moses, who would destroy Pharaoh and his kingdom.
  • مقدم موسی نمودندش بخواب ** که کند فرعون و ملکش را خراب

  • He said to the interpreters and astrologers, “How may (the fulfilment of) the ill-boding phantasm and dream be warded off?”
  • با معبر گفت و با اهل نجوم ** چون بود دفع خیال و خواب شوم

  • They all said to him, “We will contrive something, we will waylay the birth (of Moses), like brigands.”
  • جمله گفتندش که تدبیری کنیم ** راه زادن را چو ره‌زن می‌زنیم

  • (They waited) till the night arrived on which the begetting (of Moses) took place; those Pharaoh's men deemed it advisable, 845
