  • Moaning and wailing (ever) had great value with Thee: I could not leave their rights unheeded.
  • آه و زاری پیش تو بس قدر داشت  ** من نتانستم حقوق آن گذاشت 
  • With Thee the moist eye is much prized: how should I have become quarrelsome in resisting (her)?”
  • پیش تو بس قدر دارد چشم تر  ** من چگونه گشتمی استیزه‌گر 
  • There is a summons to the servant (of God) to lamentation five times a day— “come to (perform) the ritual prayer, and make lament.”
  • دعوت زاریست روزی پنج بار  ** بنده را که در نماز آ و بزار 
  • The muezzin's cry is “hasten to welfare,” and that welfare is this lamentation and petitioning. 1600
  • نعره‌ی مذن که حیا عل فلاح  ** وآن فلاح این زاری است و اقتراح 
  • He whom Thou wishest to make sorrow-stricken—Thou dost bar against his heart the way to lamentation,
  • آن که خواهی کز غمش خسته کنی  ** راه زاری بر دلش بسته کنی 
  • In order that affliction may descend (upon him) without (there being) anything to repel it, when there is no intercessor (in the form) of humble entreaty;
  • تا فرو آید بلا بی‌دافعی  ** چون نباشد از تضرع شافعی 
  • And (on the other hand) Thou dost lead to humble entreaty the spirit of him whom Thou wishest to redeem from affliction.
  • وانک خواهی کز بلااش وا خری  ** جان او را در تضرع آوری 
  • Thou hast said in the Qur’án that (as regards) those peoples on which that heavy vengeance fell,
  • گفته‌ای اندر نبی که آن امتان  ** که بریشان آمد آن قهر گران 
  • ’Twas because at that moment they would not make humble entreaty that the affliction might be averted from them; 1605
  • چون تضرع می‌نکردند آن نفس  ** تا بلا زیشان بگشتی باز پس 
  • But since their hearts had been hardened, their sins appeared (to them) as obedient service (rendered to God).
  • لیک دلهاشان چون قاسی گشته بود  ** آن گنههاشان عبادت می‌نمود
