  • So that they do not rebel in tribulation or shrink from (obeying) the commands and prohibitions of God. 2345
  • تا نباشد در بلاشان اعتراض ** نه ز امر و نهی حقشان انقباض

  • The rose-conserve (of spiritual delight) digests the morsel, that is, the (Divine) decree, which bestows bitterness;
  • لقمه‌ی حکمی که تلخی می‌نهد ** گلشکر آن را گوارش می‌دهد

  • (But) he that does not rely upon the rose-conserve vomits the morsel in disgust.
  • گلشکر آن را که نبود مستند ** لقمه را ز انکار او قی می‌کند

  • Any one who has dreamed of the Day of Alast is drunken in the path of devotional works, drunken:
  • هر که خوابی دید از روز الست ** مست باشد در ره طاعات مست

  • Like a drunken (frenzied) camel, he is bearing this (heavy) sack without flagging and without questioning and without fatigue;
  • می‌کشد چون اشتر مست این جوال ** بی فتور و بی گمان و بی ملال

  • The froth round his muzzle, namely, his confession of faith, has become a witness to his (inward) intoxication and heart-burning. 2350
  • کفک تصدیقش بگرد پوز او ** شد گواه مستی و دلسوز او

  • Through the strength (bestowed on him) the camel becomes like a fierce lion; beneath the heavy burden he eats little (food).

  • (But) he who has not dreamed such a dream in Alast does not become a servant and seeker (of God) in this world;
  • در الست آنکو چنین خوابی ندید ** اندرین دنیا نشد بنده و مرید

  • Or if he does become (such), (he is) always changing and shifting in vacillation: he gives thanks (to God) for one moment and utters complaints for a year.
  • ور بشد اندر تردد صد دله ** یک زمان شکرستش و سالی گله

  • He steps forward and backwards in the Way of the Religion with a hundred vacillations and without (any) certainty. 2355

  • When have I been praying in the fashion of the blind? When have I begged of any one except the Creator?
  • من دعا کورانه کی می‌کرده‌ام ** جز به خالق کدیه کی آورده‌ام

  • The blind man in his ignorance hath hope of (Thy) creatures; (but) I (have hope) of Thee (alone), by whom every difficult thing is (made) easy. 2360
  • کور از خلقان طمع دارد ز جهل ** من ز تو کز تست هر دشوار سهل

  • This blindness of mine is the blindness of love: it is (a case of) ‘Love makes one blind and deaf,’ O Hasan.
  • کوری عشقست این کوری من ** حب یعمی و یصمست ای حسن

  • I am blind to aught other than God, I am (made) seeing by Him: if this is be what Love demands, 'tis well.
  • کورم از غیر خدا بینا بدو ** مقتضای عشق این باشد نکو

  • Do not Thou (O God), who art seeing, deem me to be one of the blind: I am revolving round Thy grace, O Axis (of all).
  • تو که بینایی ز کورانم مدار ** دایرم برگرد لطفت ای مدار

  • Just as Thou didst show a dream to the veracious Joseph, and it became a support to him, 2365
