  • (Whilst) there was coming from thee to sinners a threat and menace of punishment exceedingly severe–– 2465
  • از تو تهدید و وعیدی می‏رسید ** مجرمان را از عذاب بس شدید
  • (And) I was becoming agitated, and there was no help (for me), (since) there were chains made fast and a lock not (to be) opened:
  • مضطرب می‏گشتم و چاره نبود ** بند محکم بود و قفل ناگشود
  • Neither room for patience nor means of flight, neither hope of repenting nor opportunity for rebelling
  • نی مقام صبر و نه راه گریز ** نی امید توبه نه جای ستیز
  • I, like Hárút and Márút was crying in sorrow, ‘Alas!’ and saying, ‘O my Creator!’”
  • من چو هاروت و چو ماروت از حزن ** آه می‏کردم که ای خلاق من‏
  • Because of the dangers (of the Last Judgement) Hárút and Márút openly chose the pit of Babylon,
  • از خطر هاروت و ماروت آشکار ** چاه بابل را بکردند اختیار
  • So that they might suffer here (in this world) the punishment of the world to come; and they are cunning and intelligent and magician-like. 2470
  • تا عذاب آخرت اینجا کشند ** گربزند و عاقل و ساحروش‏اند
  • They acted well, and ‘twas fitly done: the pain of smoke is lighter than (that of) fire.
  • نیک کردند و بجای خویش بود ** سهلتر باشد ز آتش رنج دود
  • The pain of that (future) world is beyond description; light is the pain of this world beside it.
  • حد ندارد وصف رنج آن جهان ** سهل باشد رنج دنیا پیش آن‏
  • Oh, happy he that wages a holy war (of self-mortification), and puts a restraint upon the body and deals justice (against it),
  • ای خنک آن کاو جهادی می‏کند ** بر بدن زجری و دادی می‏کند
  • And, in order that he may be delivered from the pain of that world, lays upon himself this pain of serving God.
  • تا ز رنج آن جهانی وارهد ** بر خود این رنج عبادت می‏نهد
