  • For this deliberation is the ray of the Merciful (God), while that haste is from the impulse of the Devil,
  • کین تانی پرتو رحمان بود  ** وان شتاب از هزه‌ی شیطان بود 

  • Because the Devil frightens him (the greedy man) away from poverty and kills the beast of burden, patience, by stabbing. 60
  • زانک شیطانش بترساند ز فقر  ** بارگیر صبر را بکشد به عقر 

  • Hear from the Qur’án that the Devil in menace is threatening thee with hard poverty,
  • از نبی بشنو که شیطان در وعید  ** می‌کند تهدیدت از فقر شدید 

  • That in haste thou mayst eat foul things and take foul things, (having in thee) no generosity, no deliberation, no merit acquired by good works.
  • تا خوری زشت و بری زشت و شتاب  ** نی مروت نی‌تانی نی ثواب 

  • Necessarily (therefore) the infidel takes his food in seven bowels: his religion and spirit are thin and lean, his belly fat.
  • لاجرم کافر خورد در هفت بطن  ** دین و دل باریک و لاغر زفت بطن 

  • Concerning the occasion of the coming of the Tradition of Mustafá (Mohammed), the blessings of God be upon him, that the infidel takes his food in seven bowels, while the true believer takes his food in one bowel.
  • در سبب ورود این حدیث مصطفی صلوات الله علیه که الکافر یاکل فی سبعة امعاء و المومن یاکل فی معا واحد 

  • The infidels became the guests of the Prophet: they came to the mosque at eventide,
  • کافران مهمان پیغامبر شدند  ** وقت شام ایشان به مسجد آمدند 

  • Saying, “We have come here as visitors seeking hospitality, O King, O thou who art the entertainer of (all) the inhabitants of the world. 65
  • که آمدیم ای شاه ما اینجا قنق  ** ای تو مهمان‌دار سکان افق 

  • We are destitute and have arrived from afar: hark, shed thy grace and light upon us!”
  • بی‌نواییم و رسیده ما ز دور  ** هین بیفشان بر سر ما فضل و نور 

  • He said (to his Companions), “O my friends, divide (these guests amongst you), for ye are filled with me and with my nature.”
  • گفت ای یاران من قسمت کنید  ** که شما پر از من و خوی منید 

  • The bodies of every army are filled with the King; hence they would draw the sword against (his) Majesty's enemies.
  • پر بود اجسام هر لشکر ز شاه  ** زان زنندی تیغ بر اعدای جاه 

  • ’Tis because of the King's anger you draw the sword; otherwise, what (cause of) anger have you against your brethren?
  • تو بخشم شه زنی آن تیغ را  ** ورنه بر اخوان چه خشم آید ترا 

  • (From) the reflexion of the King's anger you are striking your innocent brother with a mace of ten manns' weight. 70
  • بر برادر بی‌گناهی می‌زنی  ** عکس خشم شاه گرز ده‌منی 

  • The King is one soul, and the army is filled with him: the spirit is like the water, and these bodies are the river-bed.
  • شه یکی جانست و لشکر پر ازو  ** روح چون آبست واین اجسام جو 

  • If the water of the King's spirit be sweet, all the river-beds are filled with the sweet water;
  • آب روح شاه اگر شیرین بود  ** جمله جوها پر ز آب خوش شود

  • که رعیت دین شه دارند و بس  ** این چنین فرمود سلطان عبس 

  • Each Companion chose a guest. Amongst them,(the infidels) was one stout and incomparable (in that respect).
  • هر یکی یاری یکی مهمان گزید  ** در میان یک زفت بود و بی‌ندید 

  • He had a huge body: no one took him along, he remained in the mosque like the dregs in a cup. 75
  • جشم ضخمی داشت کس او را نبرد  ** ماند در مسجد چو اندر جام درد 

  • As he was left behind by all, Mustafá (Mohammed) took him away. In the (Prophet's) herd there were seven goats that gave milk,
  • مصطفی بردش چو وا ماند از همه  ** هفت بز بد شیرده اندر رمه 

  • For the goats used to stay in the house for milking in preparation for mealtime.
  • که مقیم خانه بودندی بزان  ** بهر دوشیدن برای وقت خوان 

  • That famishing giant son of a Ghuzz Turcoman devoured the bread and (other) food and (drank all) the milk of the seven goats.
  • نان و آش و شیر آن هر هفت بز  ** خورد آن بوقحط عوج ابن غز 

  • The whole household became enraged, for they all desired goat's milk.
  • جمله اهل بیت خشم‌آلو شدند  ** که همه در شیر بز طامع بدند 

  • He made his voracious belly like a drum: he consumed singly the portion of eighteen persons. 80
  • معده طبلی‌خوار هم‌چون طبل کرد  ** قسم هژده آدمی تنها بخورد

  • وقت خفتن رفت و در حجره نشست  ** پس کنیزک از غضب در را ببست 

  • She put in (fastened) the door-chain from the outside, for she was angry with him and resentful.
  • از برون زنجیر در را در فکند  ** که ازو بد خشمگین و دردمند 

  • At midnight or dawn, when the infidel felt an urgent need and stomach-ache,
  • گبر را در نیم‌شب یا صبحدم  ** چون تقاضا آمد و درد شکم
