Original content

نقض میثاق و شکست توبه ها
موجب لعنت شود در انتها

نقض توبه و عهد آن اصحاب سبت
موجب مسخ آمد و اهلاک و مقت

پس خدا آن قوم را بوزینه کرد
چونک عهد حق شکستند از نبرد

اندرین امت نبد مسخ بدن
لیک مسخ دل بود ای بوالفطن

چون دل بوزینه گردد آن دلش
از دل بوزینه شد خوار آن گلش

گر هنر بودی دلش را ز اختبار
خوار کی بودی ز صورت آن حمار

آن سگ اصحاب خوش بد سیرتش
هیچ بودش منقصت زان صورتش

مسخ ظاهر بود اهل سبت را
تا ببیند خلق ظاهر کبت را

از ره سر صد هزاران دگر
گشته از توبه شکستن خوک و خر

English translation

The breach of covenants and breaking of repentances Leads to damnation in the end. The breaking of repentance and covenant by the People of the Sabbath Brought about metamorphosis, destruction, and wrath. Therefore, God turned that people into apes Because they broke the covenant of God out of hostility. In this community, there was no metamorphosis of the body, Yet there is metamorphosis of the heart, O clever one. When his heart becomes like that of an ape, Because of that ape-like heart, his physical clay becomes base. If his heart had any virtue upon testing, How would it be abased by the form of that donkey? The dog of the Companions (of the Cave) had a beautiful character, Did its form cause it any deficiency? The outward metamorphosis was for the People of the Sabbath, So that people could outwardly witness their humiliation. In secret, a hundred thousand others Have become swine and donkeys by breaking their repentance.
