  • The enemy (Moses) was in the house of that blind-hearted man, (while) he (outside) was cutting the necks of the children.

  • It came to pass just as he (Báyazíd) had said. Bu ’l-Hasan heard from the people that (prediction), 1925
  • هم‌چنان آمد که او فرموده بود ** بوالحسن از مردمان آن را شنود

  • (Namely), “Hasan will be my disciple and my true follower (umma), and will receive lessons from my tomb at every dawn.”

  • Every dawn he would set his face towards the grave and stand (there) in attention till the forenoon,
