  • The Súfí stayed behind with the baggage-train and tents and invalids, (while) the horsemen rode into the line of battle.
  • ماند صوفی با بنه و خیمه و ضعاف  ** فارسان راندند تا صف مصاف

  • They gave (him) a present (from the battle-field), saying, “Thou too, O Súfí!” (but) he cast it out (of the tent) and would not take anything.
  • ارمغان دادند کای صوفی تو نیز  ** او برون انداخت نستد هیچ چیز 
  • Then they said to him, “Why art thou angry?” He answered, “I have been deprived of (my share in) the fighting.”
  • پس بگفتندش که خشمینی چرا  ** گفت من محروم ماندم از غزا 
  • The Súfí was not at all pleased with that act of kindness, because he had not drawn the sword in the holy war.
  • زان تلطف هیچ صوفی خوش نشد  ** که میان غزو خنجر کش نشد 
  • So they said to him, “We have brought prisoners in: do thou take that one to kill.
  • پس بگفتندش که آوردیم اسیر  ** آن یکی را بهر کشتن تو بگیر 
  • Cut off his head, in order that thou too mayst be a holy warrior.” (Thereupon) the Súfí was somewhat pleased and encouraged; 3745

  • که آب را گر در وضو صد روشنیست  ** چونک آن نبود تیمم کردنیست
