دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۹۰ - مهمان آمدن در آن مسجد / Book Three - Section 190 - The Arrival of a Guest at That Mosque
متن و ترجمه / Text and Translation
| تا یکی مهمان در آمد وقت شب | کو شنیده بود آن صیت عجب |
| Until a guest arrived at nighttime, who had heard that wondrous fame— | |
| از برای آزمون می آزمود | زانک بس مردانه و جان سیر بود |
| He came to put it to the test, for he was truly manly and soul-surfeited. | |
| گفت کم گیرم سر و اشکمبه ای | رفته گیر از گنج جان یک حبه ای |
| He said: "I count a head and a belly as little; consider gone from the soul's treasury one small grain. | |
| صورت تن گو برو من کیستم | نقش کم ناید چو من باقیستم |
| Let the body's form go—who am I? The image does not diminish, since I remain. | |
| چون نفخت بودم از لطف خدا | نفخ حق باشم ز نای تن جدا |
| Since I was a breath blown from God's grace, I am the breath of the Real, separate from the body's reed. | |
| تا نیفتد بانگ نفخش این طرف | تا رهد آن گوهر از تنگین صدف |
| So that the clamor of His breath falls not on this side, so that that jewel may be freed from the tight shell. | |
| چون تمنوا موت گفت ای صادقین | صادقم جان را برافشانم برین |
| Since He said, 'Wish for death, O you truthful ones'— I am truthful; I will scatter my soul upon this." | |
