  • Again, the Creator, whom thou knowest, was leading him (Man) from the animal (state) towards humanity.
  • باز از حیوان سوی انسانیش ** می‌کشید آن خالقی که دانیش

  • Thus did he advance from clime to clime (from one world of being to another), till he has now become intelligent and wise and mighty.
  • هم‌چنین اقلیم تا اقلیم رفت ** تا شد اکنون عاقل و دانا و زفت

  • He hath no remembrance of his former intelligences (souls); from this (human) intelligence also there is a migration to be made by him,
  • عقلهای اولینش یاد نیست ** هم ازین عقلش تحول کردنیست

  • That he may escape from this intelligence full of greed and self-seeking and may behold a hundred thousand intelligences most marvellous.
  • تا رهد زین عقل پر حرص و طلب ** صد هزاران عقل بیند بوالعجب

  • Though he fell asleep and became oblivious of the past, how should they leave him in that self-forgetfulness? 3650
  • گر چو خفته گشت و شد ناسی ز پیش ** کی گذارندش در آن نسیان خویش

  • From that sleep they will bring him back again to wakefulness, that he may mock at his (present) state,
  • باز از آن خوابش به بیداری کشند ** که کند بر حالت خود ریش‌خند

  • Saying, “What was that sorrow I was suffering in my sleep? How did I forget the states of truth (the real experiences)?
  • که چه غم بود آنک می‌خوردم به خواب ** چون فراموشم شد احوال صواب

  • How did not I know that that sorrow and disease is the effect of sleep and is illusion and phantasy?”
  • چون ندانستم که آن غم و اعتلال ** فعل خوابست و فریبست و خیال

  • Even so this world, which is the sleeper's dream: the sleeper fancies that it is really enduring,
  • هم‌چنان دنیا که حلم نایمست ** خفته پندارد که این خود دایمست

  • Till on a sudden there shall rise the dawn of Death and he shall be delivered from the darkness of opinion and falsehood. 3655

  • Everything good or evil that thou seest in thy sleep will be made manifest, one by one, on the Day of the (Last) Congregation.
  • هر چه تو در خواب بینی نیک و بد ** روز محشر یک به یک پیدا شود

  • That which thou didst in this sleep in the (present) world will become evident to thee at the time of awaking.
  • آنچ کردی اندرین خواب جهان ** گرددت هنگام بیداری عیان

  • Take care not to imagine that this (which thou hast done) is (only) an evil action committed in this (state of) sleep and that there is no interpretation (thereof) for thee.
  • تا نپنداری که این بد کردنیست ** اندرین خواب و ترا تعبیر نیست

  • Nay, this laughter (of thine) will be tears and moans on the Day of interpretation, O oppressor of the captive! 3660
  • بلک این خنده بود گریه و زفیر ** روز تعبیر ای ستمگر بر اسیر

  • Know that in the hour of thy awakening thy tears and grief and sorrow and lamentation will turn to joy.

  • O thou that hast torn the coat of (many) Josephs, thou wilt arise from this heavy slumber (in the form of) a wolf.
  • ای دریده پوستین یوسفان ** گرگ بر خیزی ازین خواب گران

  • Thy (evil) dispositions, one by one, having become wolves will tear thy limbs in wrath.
  • گشته گرگان یک به یک خوهای تو ** می‌درانند از غضب اعضای تو

  • According to (the law of) retaliation, the blood (shed by thee) will not sleep (remain unavenged) after thy death: do not say, “I shall die and obtain release.”
  • خون نخسپد بعد مرگت در قصاص ** تو مگو که مردم و یابم خلاص

  • This immediate retaliation (which is exacted in the present world) is (only) a makeshift: in comparison with the blow of that (future) retaliation this is a (mere) play. 3665
  • این قصاص نقد حیلت‌سازیست ** پیش زخم آن قصاص این بازیست

  • God hath called the present world a play because this penalty is a play in comparison with that penalty.
  • زین لعب خواندست دنیا را خدا ** کین جزا لعبست پیش آن جزا

  • This penalty is a means of allaying war and civil strife: that one is like a castration, while this one resembles a circumcision.
  • این جزا تسکین جنگ و فتنه‌ایست ** آن چو اخصا است و این چون ختنه‌ایست

  • Explaining that the people of Hell are hungry and make lamentable entreaty to God, saying, "Cause our portions to be fat and let the provender reach us quickly, for we can endure no more."
  • بیان آنک خلق دوزخ گرسنگانند و نالانند به حق کی روزیهای ما را فربه گردان و زود زاد به ما رسان کی ما را صبر نماند

  • This discourse hath no end. (God said), “Hark, O Moses, let those asses go to the grass,
  • این سخن پایان ندارد موسیا ** هین رها کن آن خران را در گیا

  • That they may all be fattened by that goodly fodder. Hark, (let them in), for We have wrathful wolves.
  • تا همه زان خوش علف فربه شوند ** هین که گرگانند ما را خشم‌مند

  • We surely know the plaintive cry of Our wolves: We make these asses a means of livelihood for them. 3670
