  • The Story of Bilál's crying “One! One!” in the heat of the Hijáz, from his love for Mustafá (Mohammed), on whom be peace, in the forenoons when his master, (impelled) by Jewish fanaticism, used to flog him with a thorny branch under the (blazing) sun of the Hijáz; and how at (each) blow the blood spurted from Bilál's body, and (the words) “One! One!” escaped (from his lips) involuntarily, just as sobs escape involuntarily from others stricken with grief, because he was (so) full of the passion of love (that) there was no room for any care about relieving the pain of the thorns to enter (his heart). (His case was) like (that of) Pharaoh's magicians and Jirjís and others (who are) innumerable and beyond computation.

  • می‌زد اندر آفتابش او به خار  ** او احد می‌گفت بهر افتخار 
  • Till (at last) those cries of “One!” reached the ears of the Siddíq (Abú Bakr), who was passing in that neighbourhood.
  • تا که صدیق آن طرف بر می‌گذشت  ** آن احد گفتن به گوش او برفت 
  • His eyes became filled with tears and his heart with trouble, (for) from that “One!” he caught the scent of a loving friend (of God).
  • چشم او پر آب شد دل پر عنا  ** زان احد می‌یافت بوی آشنا

  • توبه کردن زین نمط بسیار شد  ** عاقبت از توبه او بیزار شد 
  • And proclaimed (his faith) and yielded up his body to tribulation, crying, “O Mohammed, O enemy of vows of repentance,
  • فاش کرد اسپرد تن را در بلا  ** کای محمد ای عدو توبه‌ها 
  • O thou with whom my body and (all) my veins are filled—how should there be room therein for repentance?— 900
  • ای تن من وی رگ من پر ز تو  ** توبه را گنجا کجا باشد درو 
  • Henceforth I will banish repentance from this heart (of mine): how should I repent of the life everlasting?”
  • توبه را زین پس ز دل بیرون کنم  ** از حیات خلد توبه چون کنم 
  • Love is the All-subduer, and I am subdued by Love: by Love's bitterness I have been made sweet as sugar.
  • عشق قهارست و من مقهور عشق  ** چون شکر شیرین شدم از شور عشق

  • با قضا هر کو قراری می‌دهد  ** ریش‌خند سبلت خود می‌کند 
  • A straw in the face of the wind, and then (the idea of) a settlement! A Resurrection (going on), and then the resolve to act (independently)!

  • In the hand of Love I am like a cat in a bag, now lifted high and now flung low by Love.
