  • دست سوی موزه برد آن خوش‌خطاب ** موزه را بربود از دستش عقاب
  • That man of sweet address moved his hand towards the boot: an eagle snatched the boot from his hand,
  • موزه را اندر هوا برد او چو باد ** پس نگون کرد و از آن ماری فتاد
  • And bore it away into the air, (swift) as the wind; then she turned it upside down, and a serpent dropped from it.
  • در فتاد از موزه یک مار سیاه ** زان عنایت شد عقابش نیکخواه
  • From the boot dropped a black serpent: on account of that (Divine) care (for the Prophet) the eagle became his benevolent friend.
  • پس عقاب آن موزه را آورد باز ** گفت هین بستان و رو سوی نماز
  • Then the eagle brought back the boot and said, “Come, take it and go to prayers.
  • از ضرورت کردم این گستاخیی ** من ز ادب دارم شکسته‌شاخیی 3245
  • I did this presumptuous act from necessity: I am abashed by (my feeling of) reverence (for thee).
  • وای کو گستاخ پایی می‌نهد ** بی ضرورت کش هوا فتوی دهد
  • Woe to him that steps (behaves) presumptuously without necessity (and only) because vain desire authorises him!”
  • پس رسولش شکر کرد و گفت ما ** این جفا دیدیم و بود این خود وفا
  • Then the Prophet thanked her (the eagle) and said, “I deemed this (act of thine) rudeness, but it really was kindness.
  • موزه بربودی و من درهم شدم ** تو غمم بردی و من در غم شدم
  • Thou didst carry off the boot, and I was perturbed: thou took’st away my grief, and I was aggrieved.
  • گرچه هر غیبی خدا ما را نمود ** دل در آن لحظه به خود مشغول بود
  • Although God hath shown to me every unseen thing, at that moment my heart was occupied with myself.”
  • گفت دور از تو که غفلت در تو رست ** دیدنم آن غیب را هم عکس تست 3250
  • She (the eagle) said, “Far be it from thee that forgetfulness grew up in thee: my seeing that invisible thing is (from) thy reflexion.
  • مار در موزه ببینم بر هوا ** نیست از من عکس تست ای مصطفی
  • (If) I, in the air, see the serpent in the boot, ’tis not of myself, ’tis thy reflexion, O Mustafá.”
  • عکس نورانی همه روشن بود ** عکس ظلمانی همه گلخن بود
  • The reflexion of the man of light is wholly resplendent; the reflexion of the man of darkness is wholly (like) a bath-stove (ash-heap).
  • عکس عبدالله همه نوری بود ** عکس بیگانه همه کوری بود
  • The reflexion of the servant of God is wholly luminous; the reflexion of the stranger (to God) is wholly blindness.
  • عکس هر کس را بدان ای جان ببین ** پهلوی جنسی که خواهی می‌نشین
  • Know every one's reflexion: see (it plainly), O my soul. (Then) ever sit beside the congener whom thou desirest.
  • وجه عبرت گرفتن ازین حکایت و یقین دانستن کی ان مع العسر یسرا
  • The right way of taking a lesson from this story and knowing with certainty that “verily, together with hardship there is ease.”
  • عبرتست آن قصه ای جان مر ترا ** تا که راضی باشی در حکم خدا 3255
  • That tale is a lesson to thee, O my soul, to the end that thou mayst acquiesce in the decree of God;
  • تا که زیرک باشی و نیکوگمان ** چون ببینی واقعه‌ی بد ناگهان
  • So that thou wilt be quick to understand and wilt have good thoughts (of God) when thou seest a calamity (befall thee) of a sudden.
  • دیگران گردند زرد از بیم آن ** تو چو گل خندان گه سود و زیان
  • (While) others turn pale from dread of it, thou (wilt be) laughing in the hour of gain or loss, like the rose.
  • زانک گل گر برگ برگش می‌کنی ** خنده نگذارد نگردد منثنی
  • Because the rose, though thou tear it petal by petal, does not leave off laughing and does not become bent (with grief).
  • گوید از خاری چرا افتم بغم ** خنده را من خود ز خار آورده‌ام
  • “Why,” it says, “should I fall into grief on account of a thorn? Indeed I have brought laughter (into my possession) by means of the thorn.”

  • آن عقابش را عقابی دان که او ** در ربود آن موزه را زان نیک‌خو
  • Regard His chastisement as the eagle which carried off the boot from that man of excellent disposition,
  • تا رهاند پاش را از زخم مار ** ای خنک عقلی که باشد بی غبار
  • That she might save his foot from the serpent's bite. Oh, happy is the understanding that is undimmed.
  • گفت لا تاسوا علی ما فاتکم ** ان اتی السرحان واردی شاتکم
  • He (God) hath said, “Grieve not for that which escapeth you,” if the wolf come and destroy your sheep,
  • کان بلا دفع بلاهای بزرگ ** و آن زیان منع زیانهای سترگ 3265
  • For that (God-sent) affliction keeps off great afflictions, and that loss prevents huge losses.
