  • Down to (the words), Mohammed does not speak from self-will: ’tis only (a speech) gained by inspiration. 4670
  • تا که ما ینطق محمد عن هوی  ** ان هو الا بوحی احتوی 
  • O Ahmad (Mohammed), since thou despairest not of (receiving) inspiration, leave investigation and conjecture to the corporealists;
  • احمدا چون نیستت از وحی یاس  ** جسمیان را ده تحری و قیاس 
  • For in case of necessity a carcase is lawful (food), but there is no need to investigate (when one is) in the Ka‘ba of union.
  • کز ضرورت هست مرداری حلال  ** که تحری نیست در کعبه‌ی وصال 
  • Whosoever wilfully adopts a heresy without investigation and the utmost efforts to discover the right way,
  • بی‌تحری و اجتهادات هدی  ** هر که بدعت پیشه گیرد از هوی 
  • The wind (of self-will) will lift him up and kill him, like (the people of) ‘Ád: he is no Solomon that it should waft his throne along.
  • هم‌چو عادش بر برد باد و کشد  ** نه سلیمانست تا تختش کشد 
  • For ‘Ád (and those like them) the wind is a treacherous carrier: (they are) as a lamb in the hands of a glutton, 4675
  • عاد را با دست حمال خذول  ** هم‌چو بره در کف مردی اکول 
  • Which he lays in his lap as though it were his own child and carries away to slaughter like a butcher.
  • هم‌چو فرزندش نهاده بر کنار  ** می‌برد تا بکشدش قصاب‌وار 
  • That wind was (the punishment) for ‘Ád because of their pride: they indeed deemed it a friend, (but) it was (really) a stranger (foe).
  • عاد را آن باد ز استکبار بود  ** یار خود پنداشتند اغیار بود 
  • When of a sudden it turned its coat, that evil comrade shattered them piecemeal.
  • چون بگردانید ناگه پوستین  ** خردشان بشکست آن بس القرین 
  • Shatter (destroy) the wind—for the wind (of self-will) is a great temptation— ere it shatter thee, like ‘Ád.
  • باد را بشکن که بس فتنه‌ست باد  ** پیش از آن کت بشکند او هم‌چو عاد 
  • Húd admonished them, saying, “O prideful folk, this wind will tear out of your hands the skirt (to which ye are clinging). 4680
  • هود دادی پند که ای پر کبر خیل  ** بر کند از دستتان این باد ذیل 
  • The wind is God's army, and (only) in hypocrisy (deceit) has it embraced you for a few days.
  • لشکر حق است باد و از نفاق  ** چند روزی با شما کرد اعتناق 
  • Secretly it is loyal to its Creator: when the appointed term arrives, the wind will throw up its hands (and desert you).”
  • او به سر با خالق خود راستست  ** چون اجل آید بر آرد باد دست 
  • See how the wind passes through the mouth, coming and going at every moment in advance and retreat.
  • باد را اندر دهن بین ره‌گذر  ** هر نفس آیان روان در کر و فر 
  • The throat and teeth are in no danger from it; (but) when God commands, it attacks the teeth;
  • حلق و دندان‌ها ازو آمن بود  ** حق چو فرماید به دندان در فتد 
  • (And then) a (mere) atom of wind becomes (like) a mountain and heavy, and toothache keeps him (the sufferer) miserable and ill. 4685
  • کوه گردد ذره‌ای باد و ثقیل  ** درد دندان داردش زار و علیل 
  • This is the same wind that used to pass by harmlessly: it was the life of the crops and it became the death of the crops.
  • این همان بادست که امن می‌گذشت  ** بود جان کشت و گشت او مرگ کشت 
  • The hand of the person who (formerly) kissed thy hand—in the moment of anger that hand becomes a mace.
  • دست آن کس که بکردت دست‌بوس  ** وقت خشم آن دست می‌گردد دبوس 
  • He (who has toothache) cries from his soul, “O Lord! O Lord! Take away this wind, O Thou whose aid is besought (by all)!
  • یا رب و یا رب بر آرد او ز جان  ** که ببر این باد را ای مستعان 
  • O mouth, thou wert heedless of this wind: (now) go and betake thyself to asking pardon of God with utter abasement.”
  • ای دهان غافل بدی زین باد رو  ** از بن دندان در استغفار شو 
  • His hard eye (now) sheds tears like rain: (only) pain causes the unbelievers to call unto God. 4690
  • چشم سختش اشک‌ها باران کند  ** منکران را درد الله‌خوان کند 
  • Since thou hast not received the breath (inspiration) of (holy) men from a (holy) man, hark, receive the Divine inspiration from pain.
  • چون دم مردان نپذرفتی ز مرد  ** وحی حق را هین پذیرا شو ز درد 
  • The wind says, “I am a messenger from the King of mankind: now I bring good news, now calamitous and bad;
  • باد گوید پیکم از شاه بشر  ** گه خبر خیر آورم گه شوم و شر 
  • For I am subject to command, I am not in command of myself: when am I forgetful, like thee, of my King?
  • ز آنک مامورم امیر خود نیم  ** من چو تو غافل ز شاه خود کیم
