Do not apply this (uniform) principle to all rivers; in this River behold the Moon (itself), and do not call it a (mere) reflexion.
بر همه جوها تو این حکمت مران ** اندرین جو ماه بین عکسش مخوان
This is the Water of Khizr, not the water drunk by herbivorous animals and beasts of prey: everything that appears in it is Real.
آب خضرست این نه آب دام و دد ** هر چه اندر روی نماید حق بود
From the bottom of this River the Moon cries, “I am the Moon, I am not a reflexion: I am conversing and travelling with (the River).
زین تگ جو ماه گوید من مهم ** من نه عکسم هم‌حدیث و هم‌رهم
That which is (in the world) above is in this River: take possession of it either (in the world) above or in that (River) as you please.3245
اندرین جو آنچ بر بالاست هست ** خواه بالا خواه در وی دار دست
Do not assume this River to be of (the same class as) other rivers: know that this ray of the moon-faced (Beauty) is the Moon (itself).
از دگر جوها مگیر این جوی را ** ماه دان این پرتو مه‌روی را
This topic is endless. The poor stranger wept exceedingly: he was heart-broken by grief for (the death of) the Khwája.
این سخن پایان ندارد آن غریب ** بس گریست از درد خواجه شد کیب
How the (Inspector's) bailiff sought subscriptions in all parts of the city of Tabríz, and how (only) a small amount was collected, and how the poor stranger went to visit the Inspector's tomb and related this (pitiful) tale on his grave by the method of concentrating the mind on prayer (for his help), etc.
توزیع کردن پای‌مرد در جمله‌ی شهر تبریز و جمع شدن اندک چیز و رفتن آن غریب به تربت محتسب به زیارت و این قصه را بر سر گور او گفتن به طریق نوحه الی آخره
The calamity of his debts became notorious, and the bailiff was distressed by his grief.
واقعه‌ی آن وام او مشهور شد ** پای مرد از درد او رنجور شد
He (the bailiff) went round the city to collect subscriptions and everywhere, in hope (of exciting compassion), he told all that had happened;
از پی توزیع گرد شهر گشت ** از طمع می‌گفت هر جا سرگذشت
(But) that devoted beggar obtained by means of begging no more than a hundred dinars.3250
هیچ ناورد از ره کدیه به دست ** غیر صد دینار آن کدیه‌پرست
(Then) the bailiff came to him and took his hand and went (with him) to (visit) the grave of that very wonderful generous man.
پای مرد آمد بدو دستش گرفت ** شد بگور آن کریم بس شگفت
