ور نمی‌بینی گمانی برده‌ای ** که صباحست و تو اندر پرده‌ای
And if you do not see (the daylight) but have formed an opinion that ’tis the dawn and that you are in a veil,
کوری خود را مکن زین گفت فاش ** خامش و در انتظار فضل باش
Do not proclaim your blindness by (saying) these words; keep silence and be in expectation of the (Divine) grace.
در میان روز گفتن روز کو ** خویش رسوا کردنست ای روزجو
To say in the midst of day “Where is the day?” is to expose yourself, O day-seeker.
صبر و خاموشی جذوب رحمتست ** وین نشان جستن نشان علتست2725
Patience and silence attract the (Divine) mercy, whereas to seek this sign (evidence) is a sign of infirmity.
انصتوا بپذیر تا بر جان تو ** آید از جانان جزای انصتوا
Accept (the Divine command), “Be ye silent,” in order that the recompense of “Be ye silent” may come to your soul from the Beloved.
گر نخواهی نکس پیش این طبیب ** بر زمین زن زر و سر را ای لبیب
If you do not desire (to suffer a) relapse in the presence of this Physician, dash to the ground your gold (zar) and your head (sar), O man of understanding.
گفت افزون را تو بفروش و بخر ** بذل جان و بذل جاه و بذل زر
Sell your superfluous speech and buy sacrifice of life and sacrifice of position and sacrifice of gold,
تا ثنای تو بگوید فضل هو ** که حسد آرد فلک بر جاه تو
That the grace of Him (Hú) may utter praise of you, so that Heaven will be envious of your high estate.
چون طبیبان را نگه دارید دل ** خود ببینید و شوید ازخود خجل2730
When ye have regard for the hearts (feelings and wishes) of the physicians, ye will see yourselves and will become ashamed of yourselves.
دفع این کوری بدست خلق نیست ** لیک اکرام طبیبان از هدیست
’Tis not in the power of created beings to remove this blindness, but the honouring of the physicians (by you) is from Divine guidance.
