استن من عصمت و حفظ تو است ** جمله مطوی یمین آن دو دست

هر نبیی زو برآورده برات ** استعینوا منه صبرا او صلات

هین ازو خواهید نه از غیر او ** آب در یم جو مجو در خشک جو

ور بخواهی از دگر هم او دهد ** بر کف میلش سخا هم او نهد

آنک معرض را ز زر قارون کند ** رو بدو آری به طاعت چون کند
He who with gold makes one that turns away (from Him in disobedience) a Qárún (Korah), how (much more) will He do (if) you turn your face towards Him in obedience!
