He gently showed kindness to the Companion of the Cave.

He came alive when he saw the Prophet,
As though in that moment he had created him anew.

He said, "This illness gave me this good fortune,
That this sovereign came to me at dawn,

Through the arrival of this king without retinue.

God gave me such sickness and affliction.

He also gave me back pain so that I would leap from sleep
At every midnight, necessarily and in haste,

God, from His own grace, bestowed these pains.

And He silenced hell from threatening me.

O brother, patiently enduring grief, weakness, and pain
In a dark and cold place
چشمهٔ حیوان و جام مستی استکان بلندیها همه در پستی است
Is the spring of life and the cup of intoxication,
For all those heights are in lowness.
آن بهاران مضمرست اندر خزاندر بهارست آن خزان مگریز از آن
That spring is hidden within autumn;
In spring too is that autumn, so do not flee from it.
همره غم باش و با وحشت بسازمی طلب در مرگ خود عمر دراز
Keep company with grief and accommodate terror;
Seek long life in your own death.
آنچ گوید نفس تو کاینجا بدستمشنوش چون کار او ضد آمدست
Whatever your nafs says, "This is bad here,"
Do not listen to it, for its work is contrary.
تو خلافش کن که از پیغامبراناین چنین آمد وصیت در جهان
Do the opposite of it, for from the prophets
Such counsel has come into the world.

So that regret at the end may be less.

Until the millstone turned upon this stone.

The nafs wants to destroy,
To mislead and bewilder people.

The community said, "With whom should we consult?"
The prophets said, "With the intellect that is imam."

They said, "If a child or a woman comes in,
One who has no intellect or clear judgment?"
گفت با او مشورت کن وانچ گفتتو خلاف آن کن و در راه افت
He said, "Consult with that one, and whatever was said,
Do the opposite of it and set out on the path."

Know your own nafs as a woman, worse than a woman,
For woman is a part, while your nafs is total evil.

If you consult with your own nafs,
Whatever that vile one says, do the opposite.
گر نماز و روزه می فرمایدتنفس مکارست مکری زایدت
If it commands you to prayer and fasting,
The nafs is cunning; it will produce another trick for you.
مشورت با نفس خویش اندر فعالهرچه گوید عکس آن باشد کمال
In consulting your own nafs about deeds,
Whatever it says, the reverse of that is perfection.

If you cannot overcome it and contend with it,
Go, take hold of a friend and join with him.
عقل قوت گیرد از عقل دگرنیشکر کامل شود از نیشکر
Intellect gains strength from another intellect;
Sugarcane is perfected by sugarcane.
من ز مکر نفس دیدم چیزهاکو برد از سحر خود تمییزها
I have seen many things from the nafs's cunning,
For by its sorcery it carries away discernment.

It gives you fresh promises into your hand,
Promises it has broken thousands of times.
عمر اگر صد سال خود مهلت دهداوت هر روزی بهانهٔ نو نهد
Even if life itself gives it a hundred years' respite,
It will put a new excuse before you every day.

The sorcery of a man binds the man.
ای ضیاء الحق حسام الدین بیاکه نروید بی تو از شوره گیا
O Diya al-Haqq Husam al-Din, come,
For without you no plant grows from salt-marsh soil.

A veil has been hung from the sky
Because of the curse of a wounded heart.
این قضا را هم قضا داند علیجعقل خلقان در قضا گیجست گیج

People's intellects are utterly bewildered in decree.

That black snake has become a dragon,
That thing which was a worm fallen on the road.

Dragon and snake in your hand
Became a staff, O soul; Moses is drunk with you.

God gave you the command, "Take it and fear not,"
So that in your hand the dragon may become a staff.
هین ید بیضا نما ای پادشاهصبح نو بگشا ز شبهای سیاه
Come, show the white hand, O king;
Open a new dawn out of the black nights.

A hellish one has kindled a spell-breath against him;
O you whose breath exceeds the breath of the sea.
بحر مکارست بنموده کفیدوزخست از مکر بنموده تفی
The cunning sea has shown only foam;
Hell, from cunning, has shown only heat.
زان نماید مختصر در چشم توتا زبون بینیش جنبد خشم تو
For that reason it appears slight in your eye,
So that, seeing it weak, your anger is stirred.
همچنانک لشکر انبوه بودمر پیمبر را به چشم اندک نمود
Just as the numerous army
Was shown as few to the Prophet's eye,
تا بریشان زد پیمبر بی خطرور فزون دیدی از آن کردی حذر
So that the Prophet struck them without danger;
Had he seen them as more, he would have held back.
آن عنایت بود و اهل آن بدیاحمدا ورنه تو بد دل می شدی
That was providential care, and you were worthy of it,
O Ahmad; otherwise you would have become faint-hearted.
کم نمود او را و اصحاب وراآن جهاد ظاهر و باطن خدا
He made them, and his Companions, appear few to him:
That was God's outer and inner jihad.
تا میسر کرد یسری را بروتا ز عسری او بگردانید رو
Thus He made ease easy for him,
And turned his face away from hardship.
کم نمودن مر ورا پیروز بودکه حقش یار و طریق آموز بود
Making them appear few was victory for him,
For God was his helper and path-teacher.
آنک حق پشتش نباشد از ظفروای اگر گربه ش نماید شیر نر
But one whom God does not support in victory,
Woe if a tomcat appears to him as a male lion.
وای اگر صد را یکی بیند ز دورتا به چالش اندر آید از غرور
Woe if from afar he sees a hundred as one,
So that from pride he enters the challenge.
زان نماید ذوالفقاری حربه ایزان نماید شیر نر چون گربه ای
For that reason a Dhu'l-Faqar appears as a small spear;
For that reason a male lion appears as a tomcat,
تا دلیر اندر فتد احمق به جنگواندر آردشان بدین حیلت به چنگ
So that the fool falls boldly into battle,
And by this device He brings them into His grasp,
تا به پای خویش باشند آمدهآن فلیوان جانب آتشکده
So that those champions come on their own feet
Toward the fire-temple.

Blow on it to drive it from existence.

Beware, for the thing that has uprooted mountains,
The world weeps because of it while it laughs.
می نماید تا بکعب این آب جوصد چو عاج ابن عنق شد غرق او
This water of the stream appears ankle-deep;
A hundred like Uj ibn Unuq were drowned in it.
می نماید موج خونش تل مشکمی نماید قعر دریا خاک خشک
Its wave of blood appears as a mound of musk;
The bottom of the sea appears as dry earth.
خشک دید آن بحر را فرعون کورتا درو راند از سر مردی و زور
Blind Pharaoh saw that sea as dry,
So he drove into it out of manliness and force.
چون در آید در تک دریا بوددیدهٔ فرعون کی بینا بود
When he entered, he was in the sea's depths;
When was Pharaoh's eye ever seeing?
دیده بینا از لقای حق شودحق کجا همراز هر احمق شود
The seeing eye becomes seeing through meeting the Truth;
When would the Truth become confidant to every fool?
قند بیند خود شود زهر قتولراه بیند خود بود آن بانگ غول
He sees sugar, but it itself becomes deadly poison;
He sees a road, but it itself is the ghoul's call.
ای فلک در فتنهٔ آخر زمانتیز می گردی بده آخر زمان
O heaven, in the tribulation of the last days,
You turn swiftly; give the last time.
خنجر تیزی تو اندر قصد مانیش زهرآلوده ای در فصد ما
You are a sharp dagger aimed at us,
A poisoned sting in our bloodletting.
ای فلک از رحم حق آموز رحمبر دل موران مزن چون مار زخم
O heaven, learn mercy from God's mercy;
Do not strike the hearts of ants with a snake's wound.
حق آنک چرخهٔ چرخ تو راکرد گردان بر فراز این سرا
By the right of the One who made the wheel of your sphere
Turn above this abode,
که دگرگون گردی و رحمت کنیپیش از آن که بیخ ما را بر کنی
May you turn otherwise and show mercy
Before you tear us up by the root.
