  • I said to them, ‘Whence shall I (get to) eat a daily portion of lawful food that is not pernicious?’
  • گفتم ایشان را که روزی حلال ** از کجا نوشم که نبود آن وبال

  • They took me along towards the mountainous country: they were shaking down the fruit from (the trees in) the forest, 680
  • مر مرا سوی کهستان راندند ** میوه‌ها زان بیشه می‌افشاندند

  • Saying, ‘God hath made the fruit (to taste) sweet in thy mouth because of our benedictions.
  • که خدا شیرین بکرد آن میوه را ** در دهان تو به همتهای ما

  • Come, eat (food that is) clean and lawful, and free of reckoning, without trouble and change of place and (going) up and down.’
  • هین بخور پاک و حلال و بی‌حساب ** بی صداع و نقل و بالا و نشیب

  • Then from that daily provision there appeared in me a (gift of) speech: (the spiritual) savour of my words was transporting (the people's) minds.
  • پس مرا زان رزق نطقی رو نمود ** ذوق گفت من خردها می‌ربود

  • I said, ‘This is a temptation: O Lord of the world, bestow (on me) a gift hidden from all (Thy) creatures!’
  • گفتم این فتنه‌ست ای رب جهان ** بخششی ده از همه خلقان نهان

  • Speech departed from (forsook) me; I gained a joyous heart: I was bursting with rapture, like the pomegranate; 685
  • شد سخن از من دل خوش یافتم ** چون انار از ذوق می‌بشکافتم

  • I said, ‘If there be naught in Paradise (for me) but this delight which I have within my nature,
  • گفتم ار چیزی نباشد در بهشت ** غیر این شادی که دارم در سرشت

  • No other blessing will be desired (by me): I will not be diverted from this (delight) by the houris and sugar-cane (of Paradise).’
  • هیچ نعمت آرزو ناید دگر ** زین نپردازم به حور و نیشکر

  • Of my (former) earnings one or two small pieces (of money) had remained with me, sewn in the sleeve of my jubba.
  • مانده بود از کسب یک دو حبه‌ام ** دوخته در آستین جبه‌ام

  • How he formed an intention, saying, ‘I will give this money to that carrier of firewood, since I have obtained daily provision through the miraculous gifts of the Shaykhs’; and how the carrier of firewood was offended by his secret thought and intention.
  • نیت کردن او کی این زر بدهم بدان هیزم‌کش چون من روزی یافتم به کرامات مشایخ و رنجیدن آن هیزم‌کش از ضمیر و نیت او

  • A poor man was carrying firewood: he approached (me), weary and exhausted, from the forest.
  • آن یکی درویش هیزم می‌کشید ** خسته و مانده ز بیشه در رسید

  • So I said (to myself), ‘I am independent of (earning) daily bread: henceforth I have no anxiety for the daily portion. 690
  • پس بگفتم من ز روزی فارغم ** زین سپس از بهر رزقم نیست غم

  • The loathed fruit has become sweet to me: a special provision for my body has come to hand.
  • میوه‌ی مکروه بر من خوش شدست ** رزق خاصی جسم را آمد به دست

  • Since I have been freed from the (cravings of the) gullet, here are some small pieces of money: I will give him these.
  • چونک من فارغ شدستم از گلو ** حبه‌ای چندست این بدهم بدو

  • I will give this money to this toil-worn man, that for two or three brief days he may be made happy by food.’
  • بدهم این زر را بدین تکلیف‌کش ** تا دو سه روزک شود از قوت خوش

  • He himself was knowing my mind, because his (inward) hearing had illumination from the candle of Hú (God).
  • خود ضمیرم را همی‌دانست او ** زانک سمعش داشت نور از شمع هو

  • To him the secret of every thought was as a lamp within a glass. 695
  • بود پیشش سر هر اندیشه‌ای ** چون چراغی در درون شیشه‌ای

  • No mental conception was hidden from him: he was ruler over the contents of (men's) hearts.
  • هیچ پنهان می‌نشد از وی ضمیر ** بود بر مضمون دلها او امیر

  • Therefore that wondrous man was muttering to himself under his breath in answer to my (unspoken) thought,
  • پس همی منگید با خود زیر لب ** در جواب فکرتم آن بوالعجب

  • ‘Thou thinkest so concerning the (spiritual) kings: how shouldst thou meet (receive) the daily provision unless they provide thee (with it)?’
  • که چنین اندیشی از بهر ملوک ** کیف تلقی الرزق ان لم یرزقوک

  • I was not understanding his words, but his rebuke smote my heart mightily.
  • من نمی‌کردم سخن را فهم لیک ** بر دلم می‌زد عتابش نیک نیک

  • He approached me with awful mien, like a lion, and laid down his bundle of firewood. 700
  • سوی من آمد به هیبت هم‌چو شیر ** تنگ هیزم را ز خود بنهاد زیر

  • (Through) the influence of the ecstatic state in which he laid down the firewood, a trembling fell upon all my seven limbs.
  • پرتو حالی که او هیزم نهاد ** لرزه بر هر هفت عضو من فتاد

  • He said, ‘O Lord, if Thou hast elect ones whose prayers are blessed and whose feet (comings and goings) are auspicious,
  • گفت یا رب گر ترا خاصان هی‌اند ** که مبارک‌دعوت و فرخ‌پی‌اند

  • I entreat that Thy grace may become an alchemist (may work a transmutation) and that this bundle of firewood may be turned into gold at this moment.’
  • لطف تو خواهم که میناگر شود ** این زمان این تنگ هیزم زر شود
