  • (But) the love of them that have (spiritual) insight is (fixed) on the gold-mine; necessarily it is (grows) greater every day,
  • عشق بینایان بود بر کان زر  ** لاجرم هر روز باشد بیشتر 

  • Because the mine hath no partner in aureity. Hail, O Gold-mine (of Reality), Thou concerning whom there is no doubt! 980
  • زانک کان را در زری نبود شریک  ** مرحبا ای کان زر لاشک فیک 

  • If any one let a base coin become a sharer with the Mine (in his affection), the gold goes back to the Mine (which is) beyond locality,
  • هر که قلبی را کند انباز کان  ** وا رود زر تا بکان لامکان 

  • (And then) the lover and his beloved are dead (left to die) in agony: the fish is left (writhing), the water is gone from the whirlpool.
  • عاشق و معشوق مرده ز اضطراب  ** مانده ماهی رفته زان گرداب آب 

  • The Divine Love is the Sun of perfection: the (Divine) Word is its light, the creatures are as shadows.
  • عشق ربانیست خورشید کمال  ** امر نور اوست خلقان چون ظلال 

  • When Mustafá (Mohammed) expanded with joy on (hearing) this story, his (the Siddíq's) desire to speak (of Bilál) increased also.
  • مصطفی زین قصه چون خوش برشکفت  ** رغبت افزون گشت او را هم بگفت 

  • Since he found a hearer like Mustafá, every hair of him became a separate tongue. 985
  • مستمع چون یافت هم‌چون مصطفی  ** هر سر مویش زبانی شد جدا 

  • Mustafá said to him, “Now what is the remedy?” He (the Siddíq) replied, “This servant (of God) is going to buy him.
  • مصطفی گفتش که اکنون چاره چیست  ** گفت این بنده مر او را مشتریست 

  • I will buy him at whatever price he (the Jew) may name: I will not regard the apparent loss (of money) and the extortion;
  • هر بها که گوید او را می‌خرم  ** در زیان و حیف ظاهر ننگرم 

  • For he is God's captive on the earth, and he has become subjected to the anger of God's enemy.”
  • کو اسیر الله فی الارض آمدست  ** سخره‌ی خشم عدو الله شدست 

  • How Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, enjoined the Siddíq, may God be pleased with him, saying, “Since thou art going to purchase Bilál, they (the Jews) will certainly raise his price by wrangling (with thee): make me thy partner in this merit, be my agent, and receive from me half the purchase-money.”
  • وصیت کردن مصطفی علیه‌السلام صدیق را رضی الله عنه کی چون بلال را مشتری می‌شوی هر آینه ایشان از ستیز بر خواهند در بها فزود و بهای او را خواهند فزودن مرا درین فضیلت شریک خود کن وکیل من باش و نیم بها از من بستان 

  • Mustafá said to him, “O seeker of (spiritual) fortune, I will be thy partner in this (enterprise).
  • مصطفی گفتش کای اقبال‌جو  ** اندرین من می‌شوم انباز تو 

  • Be my agent, buy a half share (in him) on my account, and receive the payment from me.” 990
  • تو وکیلم باش نیمی بهر من  ** مشتری شو قبض کن از من ثمن 

  • He replied, “I will do my utmost to serve thee.” Then he went to the house of the merciless Jew.
  • گفت صد خدمت کنم رفت آن زمان  ** سوی خانه‌ی آن جهود بی‌امان 

  • He said to himself, “From the hands of children one can buy pearls very cheaply, O father.”
  • گفت با خود کز کف طفلان گهر  ** پس توان آسان خریدن ای پدر 

  • From these foolish children the ghoul-like Devil is buying their reason and faith in exchange for the kingdom of this world.
  • عقل و ایمان را ازین طفلان گول  ** می‌خرد با ملک دنیا دیو غول 

  • He decks out the carcase so finely that (with it) he buys from them two hundred rose-gardens.
  • آنچنان زینت دهد مردار را  ** که خرد زیشان دو صد گلزار را 

  • By magic he produces such moonshine that by means of (his) magic he carries off from worthless folk a hundred purses (of money). 995
  • آن‌چنان مهتاب پیماید به سحر  ** کز خسان صد کیسه برباید به سحر 

  • The prophets taught them to trade (in the spiritual market) and lighted the candle of the (true) religion before them;
  • انبیاشان تاجری آموختند  ** پیش ایشان شمع دین افروختند 

  • (But) by means of magic and in despite the devilish and ghoulish Magician caused the prophets to appear ugly in their eyes.
  • دیو و غول ساحر از سحر و نبرد  ** انبیا را در نظرشان زشت کرد 

  • By (his) sorcery the Foe causes ugliness (to appear), so that divorce takes place between the wife and (her) husband.
  • زشت گرداند به جادویی عدو  ** تا طلاق افتد میان جفت و شو 

  • Their eyes have been sealed by a (mighty) enchantment, so that they have sold such a (precious) pearl for rubbish.
  • دیده‌هاشان را به سحر می‌دوختند  ** تا چنین جوهر به خس بفروختند 

  • This pearl is superior to both the worlds: hark, buy (it) from this ignorant child, for he is an ass. 1000
  • این گهر از هر دو عالم برترست  ** هین بخر زین طفل جاهل کو خرست 

  • To the ass a cowrie and a pearl are alike: the ass has a (great) doubt concerning the (spiritual) pearl and the Sea.
  • پیش خر خرمهره و گوهر یکیست  ** آن اشک را در در و دریا شکیست 

  • He disbelieves in the Sea and its pearls: how should an animal be a seeker of pearls and adornments?
  • منکر بحرست و گوهرهای او  ** کی بود حیوان در و پیرایه‌جو 

  • God has not put it into the animal's head to be engrossed with rubies and devoted to pearls.
  • در سر حیوان خدا ننهاده است  ** کو بود در بند لعل و درپرست
