  • دید در خواب او شبی و خواب کو  ** واقعه‌ی بی‌خواب صوفی‌راست خو 
  • One night he dreamed—but where was sleep? The vision without sleep is familiar to the Súfí—
  • هاتفی گفتش کای دیده تعب  ** رقعه‌ای در مشق وراقان طلب 
  • (That) a heavenly voice said to him, “O you who have seen trouble, search among the (loose) leaves of handwriting sold (as models) by stationers for a certain scroll.
  • خفیه زان وراق کت همسایه است  ** سوی کاغذپاره‌هاش آور تو دست  1910

  • The (heavenly) announcer of the good news said this and put his hand on his (the fakir's) heart, saying, “Go, endure the toil.”
