Original content

در عریش او را یکی زایر بیافت
کو به هر دو دست می زنبیل بافت

گفت او را ای عدو جان خویش
در عریشم آمده سر کرده پیش

این چراکردی شتاب اندر سباق
گفت از افراط مهر و اشتیاق

پس تبسم کرد و گفت اکنون بیا
لیک مخفی دار این را ای کیا

تا نمیرم من مگو این با کسی
نه قرینی نه حبیبی نه خسی

بعد از آن قومی دگر از روزنش
مطلع گشتند بر بافیدنش

گفت حکمت را تو دانی کردگار
من کنم پنهان تو کردی آشکار

آمد الهامش که یک چندی بدند
که درین غم بر تو منکر می شدند

که مگر سالوس بود او در طریق
که خدا رسواش کرد اندر فریق

من نخواهم کان رمه کافر شوند
در ضلالت در گمان بد روند

این کرامت را بکردیم آشکار
که دهیمت دست اندر وقت کار

تا که آن بیچارگان بد گمان
رد نگردند از جناب آسمان

من تورا بی این کرامتها ز پیش
خود تسلی دادمی از ذات خویش

این کرامت بهر ایشان دادمت
وین چراغ از بهر آن بنهادمت

تو از آن بگذشته ای کز مرگ تن
ترسی وز تفریق اجزای بدن

وهم تفریق سر و پا از تو رفت
دفع وهم اسپر رسیدت نیک زفت

English translation

In his hut, a visitor found him weaving a basket with both hands. He said to him, "O enemy of your own soul, you have entered my hut, poking your head in! Why did you hasten so much in this race?" He said, "Out of excessive love and longing." Then he smiled and said, "Come in now, but keep this a secret, O noble one. Until I die, do not speak of this to anyone, not to a companion, nor a friend, nor anyone insignificant." After that, another group through his window became aware of his weaving. He said, "You know the wisdom, O Creator, I keep it hidden, but You have made it manifest!" Inspiration came to him: "For a while there were those who, in this affliction, were denying you, Saying, 'Perhaps he was a hypocrite on the path, so God disgraced him among the group.' I do not want that flock to become disbelievers, and proceed in misguidance and evil suspicion. We made this miracle manifest that We might give you a hand at the time of work, So that those poor, suspicious ones would not be rejected from the heavenly threshold. Without these miracles, I would have already consoled you from My own Essence. I gave you this miracle for their sake, and I placed this lamp for that reason. You have moved beyond fearing the death of the body, and the separation of the body's parts. The illusion of the separation of head and foot has left you; to repel illusion, a very sturdy shield has reached you."
