دفتر سوم - بخش ۱۶۲ - دعاکردن موسی آن شخص را تا بایمان رود از دنیا / Book Three - Section 162 - Moses Praying for That Person So That He May Depart from the World with Faith

Original content

موسی آمد در مناجات آن سحر
کای خدا ایمان ازو مستان مبر

پادشاهی کن برو بخشا که او
سهو کرد و خیره رویی و غلو

گفتمش این علم نه درخورد تست
دفع پندارید گفتم را و سست

دست را بر اژدها آنکس زند
که عصا را دستش اژدرها کند

سر غیب آن را سزد آموختن
که ز گفتن لب تواند دوختن

درخور دریا نشد جز مرغ آب
فهم کن والله اعلم بالصواب

او به دریا رفت و مرغ آبی نبود
گشت غرقه دست گیرش ای ودود

English translation

Moses came in supplication that dawn: "O God, do not take, do not remove faith from him. Be kingly, grant him pardon, for he erred in oversight, brazenness, and excess." I told him: "This knowledge is not befitting for you." He took my words as dismissal and feeble. The one who lays his hand upon the dragon is he whose hand turns the staff into a dragon. The secret of the Unseen befits to be learned by one who can sew his lips shut from speaking. None is fit for the sea save the water-bird. Understand — and God knows best what is right. He went to the sea and was no water-bird. He drowned — take his hand, O Wadūd.
