  • (That) a heavenly voice said to him, “O you who have seen trouble, search among the (loose) leaves of handwriting sold (as models) by stationers for a certain scroll.

  • But even if it (the secret) be divulged, do not be anxious, for none but you will get (so much as) half a barley-corn thereof.

  • And if it (the affair) be long drawn out, beware and take heed! Make (the text) do not ye despair your litany at every moment.” 1915
  • ور کشد آن دیر هان زنهار تو  ** ورد خود کن دم به دم لاتقنطوا 
  • The (heavenly) announcer of the good news said this and put his hand on his (the fakir's) heart, saying, “Go, endure the toil.”
  • این بگفت و دست خود آن مژده‌ور  ** بر دل او زد که رو زحمت ببر
