  • When they called a hard heart “stony,” that was (really) inappropriate, (but) they made it serve as a similitude.
  • آن دل قاسی که سنگش خواندند  ** نامناسب بد مثالی راندند 

  • The archetype of that (object of comparison) is inconceivable: put the blame on thy conceptual faculty, and do not regard it (the archetype) as negated (nonexistent).
  • در تصور در نیاید عین آن  ** عیب بر تصویر نه نفیش مدان 

  • How the Shaykh, in obedience to the intimation from the Unseen, went with his basket four times in one day to the house of a certain Amír for the purpose of begging; and how the Amír rebuked him for his impudence, and how he excused himself to the Amír.
  • رفتن این شیخ در خانه‌ی امیری بهر کدیه روزی چهار بار به زنبیل به اشارت غیب و عتاب کردن امیر او را بدان وقاحت و عذر گفتن او امیر را 

  • One day the Shaykh went four times to the palace of an Amír, in order to beg like a dervish,
  • شیخ روزی چار کرت چون فقیر  ** بهر کدیه رفت در قصر امیر 

  • (With) a basket in his hand, crying, “Something for God's sake! The Creator of the soul is seeking a piece of bread.” 2750
  • در کفش زنبیل و شی لله زنان  ** خالق جان می‌بجوید تای نان 

  • ’Tis preposterous, O son: it makes even Universal Reason giddy-headed (astounded).
  • نعلهای بازگونه‌ست ای پسر  ** عقل کلی را کند هم خیره‌سر 

  • When the Amír saw him, he said to him, “O impudent man, I will tell you something, (but) do not fasten on me the name of niggard.
  • چون امیرش دید گفتش ای وقیح  ** گویمت چیزی منه نامم شحیح 

  • What callousness and effrontery and (insolent) behaviour is this, that you come in (here) four times in one day?
  • این چه سغری و چه رویست و چه کار  ** که به روزی اندر آیی چار بار 

  • Who here is attached to you, Shaykh? Never have I seen a sturdy beggar like you.
  • کیست اینجا شیخ اندر بند تو  ** من ندیدم نر گدا مانند تو 

  • You have brought (all) beggars into contempt and disgrace: what abominable importunity, worthy of ‘Abbás (himself), is this that you have shown! 2755
  • حرمت و آب گدایان برده‌ای  ** این چه عباسی زشت آورده‌ای 

  • ‘Abbás (the seller) of date-syrup is (merely) your groom: may no freethinker (mulhid) have such an ill-starred soul!”
  • غاشیه بر دوش تو عباس دبس  ** هیچ ملحد را مباد این نفس نحس 

  • He replied, “O Amír, I am devoted to the (Divine) command. Be silent! Thou art not acquainted with my (inward) fire: do not boil (rage) so much!
  • گفت امیرا بنده فرمانم خموش  ** ز آتشم آگه نه‌ای چندین مجوش 

  • Had I found in myself any greed for bread, I would have ripped my bread craving belly.
  • بهر نان در خویش حرصی دیدمی  ** اشکم نان‌خواه را بدریدمی 

  • During seven years, (inspired) by the ardour of Love that cooks the body, I have eaten (nothing but) vine-leaves in the wilderness,
  • هفت سال از سوز عشق جسم‌پز  ** در بیابان خورده‌ام من برگ رز 

  • So that, from my eating withered and fresh leaves, this bodily colour of mine had turned green.” 2760
  • تا ز برگ خشک و تازه خوردنم  ** سبز گشته بود این رنگ تنم 

  • So long as thou art in the veil of the Father of mankind (Adam), do not look slightingly on the lovers (of God).
  • تا تو باشی در حجاب بوالبشر  ** سرسری در عاشقان کمتر نگر 

  • The acute men who have split hairs (in profound investigation) and with (all) their soul have (studied and) apprehended the science of astronomy,
  • زیرکان که مویها بشکافتند  ** علم هیات را به جان دریافتند 

  • And the sciences of sorcery and magic and (natural) philosophy, and, though they do not know (these sciences) with real knowledge,
  • علم نارنجات و سحر و فلسفه  ** گرچه نشناسند حق المعرفه 

  • Yet have endeavoured (to know them) as far as they possibly can, and have surpassed all their rivals—
  • لیک کوشیدند تا امکان خود  ** بر گذشتند از همه اقران خود 

  • Love was jealous and withdrew from them: such a (manifest) Sun became invisible to them. 2765
  • عشق غیرت کرد و زیشان در کشید  ** شد چنین خورشید زیشان ناپدید 

  • (I marvel), how did such a Sun withdraw its face from the light of an eye that observed a star in the daytime?
  • نور چشمی کو به روز استاره دید  ** آفتابی چون ازو رو در کشید 

  • Abandon this (revilement); hark, accept my counsel: regard the lovers (of God) with the eye of love.
  • زین گذر کن پند من بپذیر هین  ** عاشقان را تو به چشم عشق بین 

  • (Their) time is precious and their souls are on the watch (for the Beloved): at that moment they cannot excuse themselves to thee.
  • وقت نازک باشد و جان در رصد  ** با تو نتوان گفت آن دم عذر خود 

  • Apprehend (their real state), do not be dependent on their words, do not wound the breasts (hearts) of the lovers.
  • فهم کن موقوف آن گفتن مباش  ** سینه‌های عاشقان را کم خراش 

  • Hast not thou formed a bad opinion of this enthusiasm (of theirs)? (Thou hast done so from prudence): do not abandon prudence, always act with caution; 2770
  • نه گمانی برده‌ای تو زین نشاط  ** حزم را مگذار می‌کن احتیاط 

  • (But) it (prudence) is either necessary or allowable or absurd: take this middle course in prudence, O interferer.
  • واجبست و جایزست و مستحیل  ** این وسط را گیر در حزم ای دخیل 

  • How the admonition of the Shaykh and the reflexion of (the impression produced by) his sincerity moved the Amír to weep; and how after (having shown) that irreverence he gave up (to him the contents of) his treasury; and how the Shaykh preserved himself (from temptation) and refused to accept (the gift) and said, “I cannot take any action in the absence of an intimation (from God).”
  • گریان شدن امیر از نصیحت شیخ و عکس صدق او و ایثار کردن مخزن بعد از آن گستاخی و استعصام شیخ و قبول ناکردن و گفتن کی من بی‌اشارت نیارم تصرفی کردن
