1760-1769

  • The husband replied, “I am doing my best to earn money; though I am destitute, I am moving hand and foot. 1760
  • گفت شو من نفقه چاره می‌کنم  ** گرچه عورم دست و پایی می‌زنم 
  • O beloved, it is my duty (to provide you with) money and clothes: you get both these from me and they are not insufficient.”
  • نفقه و کسوه‌ست واجب ای صنم  ** از منت این هر دو هست و نیست کم 
  • The wife showed (him) the sleeve of her chemise: the chemise was very coarse and dirty.
  • آستین پیرهن بنمود زن  ** بس درشت و پر وسخ بد پیرهن 
  • “It is so rough,” said she, “it eats (wounds) my body: does any one get a garment of this kind for any one?”
  • گفت از سختی تنم را می‌خورد  ** کس کسی را کسوه زین سان آورد 
  • He said, “O wife, I will ask you one question. I am a poor man: this is all I know (how to do).
  • گفت ای زن یک سالت می‌کنم  ** مرد درویشم همین آمد فنم 
  • This (chemise) is rough and coarse and disagreeable, but think (well), O thoughtful (anxious) wife! 1765
  • این درشتست و غلیظ و ناپسند  ** لیک بندیش ای زن اندیشه‌مند 
  • Is this (chemise) rougher and nastier, or divorce? Is this (chemise) more odious to you, or separation?”
  • این درشت و زشت‌تر یا خود طلاق  ** این ترا مکروه‌تر یا خود فراق 
  • Even so, O Khwája who art reviling on account of affliction and poverty and distress and tribulations,
  • هم‌چنان ای خواجه‌ی تشنیع زن  ** از بلا و فقر و از رنج و محن 
  • No doubt this renunciation of sensuality gives bitter pain, but ’tis better than the bitterness of being far from God.
  • لا شک این ترک هوا تلخی‌دهست  ** لیک از تلخی بعد حق بهست 
  • If fighting (against the flesh) and fasting are hard and rough, yet these are better than being far from Him who inflicts tribulation.
  • گر جهاد و صوم سختست و خشن  ** لیک این بهتر ز بعد ممتحن
