Original content

آن یکی درویش ز اطراف دیار
جانب تبریز آمد وامدار

نه هزارش وام بد از زر مگر
بود در تبریز بدرالدین عمر

محتسب بد او به دل بحر آمده
هر سر مویش یکی حاتم کده

حاتم ار بودی گدای او شدی
سر نهادی خاک پای او شدی

گر بدادی تشنه را بحری زلال
در کرم شرمنده بودی زان نوال

ور بکردی ذره ای را مشرقی
بودی آن در همتش نالایقی

بر امید او بیامد آن غریب
کو غریبان را بدی خویش و نسیب

با درش بود آن غریب آموخته
وام بی حد از عطایش توخته

هم به پشت آن کریم او وام کرد
که ببخششهاش واثق بود مرد

لا ابالی گشته زو و وام جو
بر امید قلزم اکرام خو

وام داران روترش او شادکام
هم چو گل خندان از آن روض الکرام

گرم شد پشتش ز خورشید عرب
چه غمستش از سبال بولهب

چونک دارد عهد و پیوند سحاب
کی دریغ آید ز سقایانش آب

ساحران واقف از دست خدا
کی نهند این دست و پا را دست و پا

روبهی که هست زان شیرانش پشت
بشکند کلهٔ پلنگان را به مشت

English translation

A certain dervish from the borders of the land Came to Tabriz, heavily in debt. He owed, perhaps, nine thousand pieces of gold; And in Tabriz was Badr al-Din Umar. He was the inspector, in heart like the sea; Every hair on his body was a house of Hatim. If Hatim had been alive, he would have been his beggar; He would have laid his head on the dust of his feet. If he had given a pure sea to a thirsty man, He would have been ashamed in his generosity of that gift. And if he had made a mote of dust into an eastern sun, That would still have been unworthy of his high endeavor. In hope of him that stranger came, For he was kinsman and relative to all strangers. That stranger was accustomed to his gate, Having gained boundless loans from his bounty. Depending on the backing of that generous man, he had borrowed money, For the man was confident in his gifts. He had become reckless through him and sought loans, Relying on the ocean of his generous nature. The creditors were sour-faced, but he was joyful, Smiling like a rose at that garden of generosity. His back was warmed by the sun of Arabia; What grief had he for the mustache of Abu Lahab? Since he has a covenant and connection with the cloud, How should water be withheld from his water-carriers? The magicians who are aware of the Hand of God, How should they care about losing these hands and feet? A fox that has the backing of those lions Will break the skulls of leopards with its fist.
