  • Rejoice, O people, since the relief has come; be glad, O people: the distress is removed.
  • ابشروا یا قوم اذ جاء الفرج  ** افرحوا یا قوم قد زال الحرج 
  • A Sun went into the hut of the new-moon, making urgent demands and saying, “Refresh us, O Bilál!
  • آفتابی رفت در کازه‌ی هلال  ** در تقاضا که ارحنا یا بلال 
  • From fear of the foe thou wert wont to speak under thy breath: (now), to his confusion, go up into the minaret and speak (aloud).”

  • The announcer of glad news is shouting in the ear of every sorrowful one, “Arise, O unlucky man, and take the road to fortune. 1100
  • می‌دمد در گوش هر غمگین بشیر  ** خیز ای مدبر ره اقبال گیر 
  • O thou that art in this prison and amidst this stench and these lice, beware lest any one hear! Thou hast escaped (from prison): be silent!”
  • ای درین حبس و درین گند و شپش  ** هین که تا کس نشنود رستی خمش 
  • How shouldst thou keep silence now, O my beloved, when a drummer has appeared from the root of every hair (in thy body)?

  • آنک در خوابش همی‌جویی ویست  ** چشم بگشا کان مه نیکو پیست 
  • Tribulations were (laid) more (heavily) upon (His) dear ones because the Beloved showed more coquettishness towards the beauteous (lovers).
  • زان بلاها بر عزیزان بیش بود  ** کان تجمش یار با خوبان فزود 
  • He sports with the beauteous ones in every path; sometimes, too, he throws the blind into frenzy.
  • لاغ با خوبان کند بر هر رهی  ** نیز کوران را بشوراند گهی

  • خویش را یک‌دم برین کوران دهد  ** تا غریو از کوی کوران بر جهد 
  • Story of Hilal, who was a devoted servant to God. (He was) possessed of spiritual insight and (in his religion) was not a mere imitator (of others). He had concealed himself in (the disguise of) being a slave to (God's) creatures, not from helplessness but for good reason, as Luqmán and Joseph and others (did, who were slaves) in appearance. He was a groom in the service of a certain Amír, and that Amír was a Moslem, but (spiritually) blind. “The blind man knows that he has a mother, but he cannot conceive what she is like.” If, having this knowledge, he show reverence towards his mother, it is possible that he may gain deliverance from blindness, for (the Prophet has said that) when God wills good unto a servant (of His) He opens the eyes of his heart, that He may let him see the Invisible (World) with them.

  • Since you have heard some of the (excellent) qualities of Bilál, now hear the story of the emaciation of Hilál.
  • چون شنیدی بعضی اوصاف بلال  ** بشنو اکنون قصه‌ی ضعف هلال 
  • He was more advanced than Bilál in the Way (to God): he had mortified his evil nature more.
  • از بلال او بیش بود اندر روش  ** خوی بد را بیش کرده بد کشش 
  • (He was) not a backslider like you, for at every moment you are farther back: you are moving away from the state of the (precious) pearl towards the state of the (worthless) stone.
  • نه چو تو پس‌رو که هر دم پس‌تری  ** سوی سنگی می‌روی از گوهری 
  • ’Tis like the case of the guest who came to a certain Khwája: the Khwája inquired concerning his days and years.
  • آن‌چنان کان خواجه را مهمان رسید  ** خواجه از ایام و سالش بر رسید

  • گفت آن را من نخواهم گفت چون  ** گفت او واپس‌روست و بس حرون 
  • “It goes back, back very hard in the direction of its rump.” He replied, “Turn its tail towards home!” 1120
  • سخت پس پس می‌رود او سوی بن  ** گفت دمش را به سوی خانه کن 
  • The tail of this beast you are riding, (namely), your carnal soul, is lust; hence that self-worshipper goes back, back.
  • دم این استور نفست شهوتست  ** زین سبب پس پس رود آن خودپرست
