Original content

باز وحی آمد که در آبش فکن
روی در اومید دار و مو مکن

در فکن در نیلش و کن اعتماد
من ترا با وی رسانم رو سپید

این سخن پایان ندارد مکرهاش
جمله می‌پیچید هم در ساق و پاش

صد هزاران طفل می‌کشت او برون
موسی اندر صدر خانه در درون

از جنون می‌کشت هر جا بد جنین
از حیل آن کورچشم دوربین

اژدها بد مکر فرعون عنود
مکر شاهان جهان را خورده بود

لیک ازو فرعون‌تر آمد پدید
هم ورا هم مکر او را در کشید

اژدها بود و عصا شد اژدها
این بخورد آن را به توفیق خدا

دست شد بالای دست این تا کجا
تا بیزدان که الیه المنتهی

کان یکی دریاست بی غور و کران
جمله دریاها چو سیلی پیش آن

حیله‌ها و چاره‌ها گر اژدهاست
پیش الا الله آنها جمله لاست

چون رسید اینجا بیانم سر نهاد
محو شد والله اعلم بالرشاد

آنچ در فرعون بود اندر تو هست
لیک اژدرهات محبوس چهست

ای دریغ این جمله احوال توست
تو بر آن فرعون بر خواهیش بست

گر ز تو گویند وحشت زایدت
ور ز دیگر آفسان بنمایدت

چه خرابت می‌کند نفس لعین
دور می‌اندازدت سخت این قرین

آتشت را هیزم فرعون نیست
ورنه چون فرعون او شعله‌زنیست

English translation

Again revelation came: “Cast him into the water; keep your face toward hope, and do not tear out your hair. Cast him into the Nile and trust: I will reunite you with him, bright-faced.” This discourse has no end; his stratagems all kept twisting around his own shank and foot. He was killing hundreds of thousands of children outside, while Moses was inside, in the place of honor in the house. In madness he killed wherever there was a fetus, by the devices of that blind-eyed far-seer. Pharaoh the obstinate's stratagem was a dragon; it had devoured the stratagems of the kings of the world. But one more Pharaoh-like than he appeared and drew in both him and his stratagem. The stratagem was a dragon, and the staff became a dragon; this one devoured that one by God's enabling grace. Hand was above hand: how far does this go? To God, for unto Him is the end. For that One is a sea without bottom or shore; all seas are like a torrent before it. If ruses and remedies are dragons, before “except God” they are all “no.” When my exposition reached this point, it laid down its head, was effaced; and God knows best the right guidance. What was in Pharaoh is in you, but your dragon is imprisoned in the pit. Alas, all these states are yours, yet you will fasten them onto Pharaoh. If they say it of you, horror rises in you; if of another, it seems to you a tale. How the accursed nafs ruins you; this close companion casts you far away indeed. Your fire lacks Pharaoh's firewood; otherwise it would flame up like Pharaoh's.
