  • گوسفندی از کلیم الله گریخت  ** پای موسی آبله شد نعل ریخت 
  • One sheep fled from God's Kalím: the feet of Moses were blistered (in following it) and his shoes dropped off.
  • در پی او تا به شب در جست و جو  ** وان رمه غایب شده از چشم او 
  • (He continued) searching after it till nightfall, and (meanwhile) the flock had vanished from his sight.
  • گوسفند از ماندگی شد سست و ماند  ** پس کلیم الله گرد از وی فشاند 
  • The (lost) sheep was enfeebled and exhausted by fatigue: then God's Kalím shook the dust off it,
  • کف همی‌مالید بر پشت و سرش  ** می‌نواخت از مهر هم‌چون مادرش

  • مصطفی فرمود خود که هر نبی  ** کرد چوپانیش برنا یا صبی
