- Even as the delicious savour of the cryAm not I (your Lord)? Subsists in the heart of every true believer till the Resurrection,
- همچنانک ذوق آن بانگ الست ** در دل هر مومنی تا حشر هست
- So that they do not rebel in tribulation or shrink from (obeying) the commands and prohibitions of God. 2345
- تا نباشد در بلاشان اعتراض ** نه ز امر و نهی حقشان انقباض
- The rose-conserve (of spiritual delight) digests the morsel, that is, the (Divine) decree, which bestows bitterness;
- لقمهی حکمی که تلخی مینهد ** گلشکر آن را گوارش میدهد
- (But) he that does not rely upon the rose-conserve vomits the morsel in disgust.
- گلشکر آن را که نبود مستند ** لقمه را ز انکار او قی میکند
- Any one who has dreamed of the Day of Alast is drunken in the path of devotional works, drunken:
- هر که خوابی دید از روز الست ** مست باشد در ره طاعات مست
- Like a drunken (frenzied) camel, he is bearing this (heavy) sack without flagging and without questioning and without fatigue;
- میکشد چون اشتر مست این جوال ** بی فتور و بی گمان و بی ملال
- The froth round his muzzle, namely, his confession of faith, has become a witness to his (inward) intoxication and heart-burning. 2350
- کفک تصدیقش بگرد پوز او ** شد گواه مستی و دلسوز او
- Through the strength (bestowed on him) the camel becomes like a fierce lion; beneath the heavy burden he eats little (food).
- اشتر از قوت چو شیر نر شده ** زیر ثقل بار اندکخور شده
- In (his) longing for the she-camel a hundred starvations (lie lightly) on him; the mountain seems to him (as) a strand of hair.
- ز آرزوی ناقه صد فاقه برو ** مینماید کوه پیشش تار مو
- (But) he who has not dreamed such a dream in Alast does not become a servant and seeker (of God) in this world;
- در الست آنکو چنین خوابی ندید ** اندرین دنیا نشد بنده و مرید
